Happy Summer Holiday Commemorating a Country Whose Date Was Arbitrarily Chosen by Committee Day

Adam · Jul 1, 2012

Or as I like to call it, Canada Day! Happy Canada Day to all my Canucks brothers and sisters and most of Minnesota and North Dakota! Have a great long weekend!

Yes! A happy it's-Solstice-but-we-can't-call-it-that-nor-use-the-right-day-cuz-we're-a-government day to all!

I initially was all set to come in here and say, "Come ON, we know the thing was written and signed on the 2nd, but it didn't actually get PRINTED until the 4th, and that's the day it was APPROVED. Get OVER it, already - or are we gonna have to do this for another 266 years?"

And then I realized it was about Canada Day.

"Never Mind."

I prefer to call it Dominion Day. /disdain

To be fair, arbitrarily choosing something by committee is a very Canadian thing to do.

Oh, Can-a-da,

Our home and native la-and,

True pa-triot love

In all thy sons com-mand

With glo-wing hearts

We see-ee thee rise

The True North strong and free-ee

Fro-om far and wide

Oh Can-a-da

We stand on guard fo-or thee-ee

God keep our land

Glor-ious and free

Oh Can-a-da

We stand on guard fo-or thee

Oh Can-a-da

We stand on guard fo-or THEE-EEEEE!

The only anthem/song that comes close to "On Wisconsin" for being the perfect song.

Unfortunately, I spent the day inside working, after pulling an all nighter last night. I slept from about 4pm- 9 pm, but now it's back to work.
Missed out on all the fun.

The highlight of my day, sadly, was exchanging links to bitchin' CanRock on Facebook with my brother while I worked.
