Thanks, DeeBye!
Happy Canada to you and all others out there.

I do hope our neighbours to the south don't mind me saying so, but today already exemplifies my chauvinistic opinion that there is nowhere better in this world to be in July but beside a lake or river in Ontario. Pike Bay is a fine place to celebrate this day. Here is hoping you and yours will have some time beside the Thames today, or someplace else near the water to do your own celebrating.

Edit: T'was a fine day to be at Pike Bay. We watched fireworks over the water from numerous sources while sipping cold Ontario micro-brewery beer on the dock with two of my best neighbours. HeartHeart
And you may call it righteousness
When civility survives,
But I've had dinner with the Devil and
I know nice from right.

Happy Canada Day. I'm not much of a nationalist, but I have to admit, it's a pretty nice place to be from.

I've been up to Victoria in July, and wish I could be there every July till it cools down here, so, no, I don't mind at all. Big Grin

And happy celebration, too. Tongue

Unfortunately I'm working two open houses here, but since the weather is balls here with a side of more rain I don't feel too bad about it yet. Still bloody happy I live here though. Happy Canada day folks!

What, exactly, in your own words, is a hoser? Or an hoser, if that is more correct?

I was wondering why a neighbor was flying an orange maple leaf from their balcony last night.

The only thing I can think of is that your neighbour is Dutch-Canadian.

Good to get your own words, but now at least I know from which zone Thomas Miller is from.

A hoser is just a stereotypical Canadian. We enjoy beer, hockey, barbecues on long weekends, spending time outdoors, and The Log Driver's Waltz.

I had a decent Canada Day. I didn't spend too much time outside because it was so damned hot, but I did watch the Jays game and Free Agent Frenzy on TV and barbecued up some steaks for the family. Now I'm relaxing and enjoying a beer.

*edit: many beers

This may be sacrilege being an American, but I actually found SCTV to be much funnier than Saturday Night Live when I was younger, sorry to say.

Ah, good old Don Cherry.

I'm a bit late to the party, but enjoy the rest of the year as much as Canada Day, dear Canucks! May I happen upon the funds to finally visit you soon.

take care

So I have to ask. Is it a Canadian thing, or a Hockey thing to wear the wide pinstripe suits?

I'm not much of a hockey fan, but whenever I see hockey 'announcer/analysts' they have the goatee, and the suit.

The most important part is actually the mullet! Few people can wear it proudly, Barry being one, McGyver another.

The hoser in me knows of 2 hockey players with the nickname "Moose" off by heart - Mark Messier and Johan Hedberg.

I think it's a new world thing. Smile

I'm still waiting for an invitation from someone canadian to come and visit. I imagine it being like sweden, only bigger and cheaper beer.

It's bigger and more diverse. I would juxtapose the Calgary Stampede with Quebec's Le Sacrilège.

A bit late, but I've been listening to Dar Williams' O Canada Girls today.
