Happy Canada Day!
It's my first full Canada Day! (I was in transit last year.) I have to get stuff done around the house, but I'm going to see fireworks and hear Canadian music tonight---and I'm taking one of my flags!
Today's joke:
How do you get a crowd of rowdy, drunken Canadians out of your swimming pool?
You say "Everyone please leave the pool."
Today's quote: "Mon pays, ce n’est pas un pays, c’est l’hiver"--Gilles Vigneault.
Today's factoid:
Maclean's Magazine (like Time or Life, only not really) once held a contest for the true Canadian motto. The winner was "As Canadian as possible, under the circumstances."
Today's tonguetwister: say Canada Day a couple of times fast. I dare you. This is particularly difficult with a Rochester accent (strangely, my Vancouverite friends have no trouble with it).
