Happy 149 since Confederation! Next year will be a big celebration in our nation as we celebrate 150. Events planned across the country. Today towns and cities will have activities in local parks. Toronto always has a big event at Queen's Park. Used to take my kids there when they were little. Richmond Hill and Vaughan local venues have celebrations. Of course, there will be fireworks tonight coast to coast. Being on a Friday gives a real statuatory holiday for everyone. The long weekend gives another day at home or the cottage for workers. Of course, some people need to work but they get time and ahalf pay so don't feel sorry for them. My flag is out the front in celebration of Canada Day. What can be said about Ottawa- our capital! Always a big deal there. Lots of visitors go to the city just for the celebrations. So as we celebrate let's think of those serving us around the world in the Armed Forces. Our local police and firefighters- both urban and rural! Those providing public transportation and working in hospitals!
Reflect on what Canada means to you! Why is it such a nation that many people worldwide want to make their home? What are our unique values and standards? Remember we really are polite. But don't think being polite means we can be conned. Canadians can be very smart and knowledgeable too. So why do you love this great nation?
Of course wear some red and white today!
Wasn't the Ottawa event spectacular! Loved the Canadian singers and the fireworks show!
