So I'm pretty sure this is the second year running I've made this thread (not sure though).

So, to all the AG members who hail from the Great White North (or so the world believes) Happy Canada Day!

And for those of you who are less knowledgable about this beloved country of mine *coughs* stereotypical Americans...please feel free to ask questions. OR Google Canada.

Is Canada Day in any way similar to America's Independence Day and if so, how?


Not really. We celebrate our forefather's courage in defeating the British and their tyrannous laws in order to gain our rightful independence. The Canadians celebrate Britain cutting them loose.

So, we ran away and they got kicked out?

Imagine Great Britain as being the parents of the two countries.
We (America) celebrate the day we ran away from home.
They (Canada) celebrate the day that they were kicked out.

Well, when you look at it, America moved out and kicked Britain out of Their place when they requested they move back (into the realm). As for Canada, Britain simply had no more use for them.

Is Canada Dry made in Canada? Just wondering. Though when it comes to Ginger Ale, I prefer Blenheim Old #3:

British and their tyrannous laws


The debate I could have over this...

You realize many colonies had it worse? Also Canada went through the same regulations as America, we're just more tolerant.

But I digress.

Canada Day is similar to Independence Day because both days celebrate the birth of our nations.

So... America is like the angry parent who wants their 30 year old son to move out, and Canada is like an ageing ******?

That makes perfect sense now.

Canadian and proud.

Nuff said.

Oh and I remember an American said:

"Everyone thinks US is a stupid country, but not all of us are stupid. I think that Europe country is stupid right next to that Asia county."

Just another reason I'm glad that I have Canadian education.
