Happy Birthday Canada!

Today is one of my favourite holidays…the day Canadians celebrate a bunch of British colonies being brought together as “one Dominion under the name of Canada” by going to BBQs, rock concerts, festivals, fairs and watching stuff blow up in the sky at night. Like all nations our history is imperfect, but I’m very proud to be part of a country that for past 141 years has striven to build a society based on the principles of freedom justice and tolerance for all.

It’s somehow fitting that our national pride was once best summed up in a beer commercial:

Happy 141st Canada! You don’t look a day over 30.
