   ITS CANADA DAY!!! ALL HAIL THE FROSTY GREAT SNOWY AND MILITARY-LESS ALMIGHTY CANADA!!!!!!
in case you haven't noticed, I love my wonderfull Canada. :)
Soooo, besides the shazamin' fireworks, at my site I'm going to have a little Canada tribute! I've changed the blue colors to Canada's trademark red & white, and have a list of stuff about the Great Big North. lol, can you tell I have nothing better to do-and love Canada?


1. Canada is only cold IN THE WINTER. Its actually really humid and unbearable in the summer!
2. ONLY THE INUIT LIVE IN IGLOOS. I AM NOT INUIT!!!!!!
3. Only a few Canadians say "eh". I do not say "eh". Its irriataing, I agree. But, the French-Canadians do say "eh" and talk kinda funny. Its actually pretty amusing! ^^
4. The first PM of Canada was Sir John A. MacDonald, who, despite his "good intentions" nearly killed all of the Metis and Natives, and I think the French were planning to assassinate him before he died. lol. MacDonald's goal was to unite Canada "from sea to sea", not from "coast to coast".
5. Did you know the Liberals (now led by Paul Martin, but Jean Chretin was its leader and the PM for about a decade) will ewventually kill our country by raising taxes, letting ourselves be ruled by Britain and the Queen, and by spending the taxmoney on their own raises?
6. Election day was...yesterday! So, we have a new PM and I have no clue who he is!!
7. Canada has had one female PM-I think her name was Jane Campbell or something. But she gave up her job as PM about two months into the job because she couldn't handle it!
8. The fur trade was really what brought people to Canada. The Brits wanted these ridiculous beaver hats to look cool, and Canada was aboundant in beavers.
9. Vikings were the first-next to the Natives-to settle New Foundland.
10. Canada has 13 provinces and territories. The territories are Yukon, Nunavet, and the Northwest Territories. The provinces are: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Foundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.
11. New Foundland has its own time zone.
12. New Foundlanders (aka "Newfies") are the stupid people of Canada (no offence to Newfies, I know dozens of them that are a thousand times smarter than me!) while Quebecans are the arrogant ones. Heh. I'm scared to know what they think of Ontarians!
13. Though New Foundland was the last to join Confederation, Nunavet is the newest member of Canada's family. Nunavet is a section of NWT that separated from the NWT to have better representation is Parliament. Technically, it was a part of Canada, but is the newest part of the family, making 13 the number of territories and provinces in Canada.
