Happy Canada Day - Joyeux jour du Canada! - 1 July

Previously known as Dominion Day...

Celebrating the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867...

Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada) is the national day of Canada. A federal statutory holiday, it celebrates the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867, with the passing of the British North America Act, 1867 where the three separate colonies of the United Canadas, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick were united into a single Dominion within the British Empire called Canada. Originally called Dominion Day (French: Le Jour de la Confédération), the holiday was renamed in 1982, the same year that the Canadian Constitution was patriated by the Canada Act 1982. Canada Day celebrations take place throughout the country, as well as in various locations around the world attended by Canadians living abroad.

Bravo les nègres !

Ta gueule !

One just knows that Charles III-to-be is sizing up Rideau Hall for his new home-away-from-home for when the UK ditches its German monarchy, like Barbados. Au reservoir, Mme Simon ᒥᐊᓕ ᓴᐃᒪᓐ.

R1 Still called that in some churches.

Trudeau haters have been passing out an "Arrest Warrant" for Justin Trudeau on Parliament Hill - saying he is going to be arrested for Treason

and you Americans think you have Trump problems

They can send him back to his senile uncle in Cuba.

oh - so you are a Trudeau hater?

R6 Ironically, the Jacobite succession has also passed to a German family. The rightful king of Canada lives openly with a male partner.

R11 the Canadians, apart from les Québécois, have always been very tolerant of sondomy. If the Pretender has no kidz, he's not much use to Canadians though: the whole point is monarchical certainty given the Provinces distrust each other, not a dynastic controversy.

The RCMP are quite fetching.

Happy Canada Day everyone!

I thought that the Statute of Westminster (December 11, 1931) was Canada's own declaration of independence, because Canada did not enjoy full legal autonomy until that was passed.

R15 That's correct, and arguably more constitutionally significant than 1867 which merely federated existing colonies. But then December weather is not exactly barbecue-friendly in Canada.

The Statute of Westminster applied to all the Empah, not just Canadia.

R17, well, the white parts anyway.

Since it is Canada Day, I will no officially stop rocking your body
