Aged 139, still lookin' fine!
Happy Canada Day, myOtaku! The nation is 139 years old today! If you live in the country, have a celebration or two with some red and white. Even if not, have a drink or somethin' as well. If you specifically live below us, I'll be sure to return the favour in a few days.
So yes, today, remember to add the "u" in your words ending in "-or". Think about how funny Mike Myers, Jim Carrey and all the Kids in the Hall are. Go curling. Measure something in centimeters and liters even though Canadians still use imperial units for everyday things anyway. Dare to slip an "eh?" at the end of a sentence (don't linger on it, though, a proper "eh?" requires it to be little more than an afterthought to the main point, not the point itself). Think about how odd it would be to have a Queen who becomes your queen the second she touches down on the land. Wonder in awe at how women are just so much better at hockey than men. Smirk at the t-shirt that says, "Canadian Girls Kick Ass". Think happily about marrying someone of the same sex - or, if that doesn't work, think about two other people of the same sex getting married. Try to figure out what the "2" in "Joint Task Force 2" stands for. Appreciate the quality of your driving vehicle and be glad that it's not a broken, failing, 40 year old Sea King helicopter. Eat a beaver tail (the fried, sugared dessert). Eat a beaver tail (the animal appendage). Spend a moment or two to figure out where all the Chinese people came from. Contemplate your accent and figure out what in fact makes it an accent. Eat french fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. Laugh about how French people in France think the Quebequois talk funny. Spend a moment of silent thought for the lost Avro Arrow. After that's over, stand tall as if standing on Vimy Ridge itself. Kiss a Gemini. Kiss a railroad worker. Better yet, kiss a Chinese railroad worker! Sew a flag on your backpack. Vote Conservative even though you feel as though you stand with Liberal ideas. Wander quietly through the streets, looking for Hollywood film sets. Cheer at the end of the anthem, especially if the actual singer holds the mike up to the audience for the middle part . . .
. . . . . and last but not least, don't forget to always, always, stand on guard for thee.
Happy Birthday, Canada.
