Happy Canada Day!
Thursday, July 1, 2004

You never know the things you'll learn from one day to the next... Today, I learned about Canada Day, which happens to be today.

(I think I'm being constantly amazed at how many other "independence"-type holidays are out there that we Americans don't even know about...)

Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Day

We will now hear the Canadian National Anthem:

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

For all our Canadian Browncoat bretheren (and even them that ain't Browncoats), I say:

HAPPY CANADA DAY

On behalf of at least this [i/] Canadian Browncoat, Thanks! That was really nice. (The anthem was a great touch.)

On another note, has anyone noticed how many of us 'Coats seem to be from 'up there'? Seems there's a powerful mess of us there. Very shiny.

I could sing the MST3K Canada song but that would just be all kinds of rude.
