Where on earth do you live in Canada?
Only the province of Quebec, outside Monreal, is Canada day, not really celebrated.
Canada day is to celebrate, 1 July 1867, the birth of Canada.
Before, it was sort of a british colony, though it had gained a lot
of leeway from britain in the 1841 to 1848 period and
basicly had a kind of home rule by the time the formation of Canada arrived.
