Happy Canada Day! 10:43 am
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).
