It’s a national holiday up here in the land of the north. It’s Canada Day.
Which means I’m eating Canadian bacon for breakfast, going to have poutine for lunch and beer for supper. I’ll also be wearing a toque while I go and ogle some fine Canadian Mounties later today.
I may even celebrate our Country’s national day by heading out to spend some fine friendly Canadian Tire money.
Who says Canadians aren’t patriotic?
So from my beaver to yours the land of the Beaver, I wish you all a happy Canada day.
Enjoy.
That’s right baby.
I. AM. CANADIAN.
***Anyone in the Edmonton area this weekend that is interested in meeting HerBadMother, Motherbumper or myself, let me know. I’m trying to organize something for the SV Mom’s Road Trip. All beavers welcome.***

I love that video! Makes me so happy! Happy Canada day to you too.

Happy Canada Day! (I was going to say Happy Kanuk Day, cause that’s what us NoDaks used to call it, but when I checked to see how to spell ‘kanuk,’ I ended up here: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=kanuk. I’ll just shut up now.)

BTW you could spend some of that Canadian Tire money at the bar Hudson’s is taking it at par Most excellent! Figure you must have a ton of it at Casa Redneck. The poutine sounds good while watching The Musical Ride !

Happy Canada Day! I’d love to meet you guys. Will email you too, if I happen to remember and/or find time.

I would totally make the trip up if i weren’t already going camping in Fort MacLeod of all places. Have a great time. Happy C day!!!!
Wednesday, 1 July, 2009 at 10:23
Have a great day! And although I am green with envy about the get-together, I know you will have a blast.

Happy birthday to America’s favorite top hat.
Wednesday, 1 July, 2009 at 10:50
Take off, eh?
Wednesday, 1 July, 2009 at 10:57
Happy Canada Day! Give the beaver an extra pet for all us Canucks. heh.

I’m not Canadian (Minnesotan actually, but have been frequently asked “where abouts in Canada IS ‘insert city name here’?” by friends of a friend who lives in central Illinois)…but I will be having beer for supper too!! =)

Happy Canada Day. Julie

Do you really call it Canadian bacon if you are in Canada? What would happen if you just ask for bacon?
Wednesday, 1 July, 2009 at 12:56
What is it about Canadian patriotism that affects us dirty Americans so poorly? Like, someone up there called you our ‘Top Hat’ (which was hysterical) (and i guess I’m only assuming that it was meant in a ‘neener, neener’ kind of way) (but like, you know, being funny… OK, I’m stopping)
ANYWAY, what is it? I moved as close to Canada as I could, I love Canada, I adore Canadians… and yet, I TOTALLY want to bag on you! Like, ‘Whatever, Canada! You guys are all, like, ‘nice’ and stuff! Haha on YOU!!”
I’m not very good at insults. Plus, I’m not very intelligent.
Besides, I’m totally going to use it as an excuse to get hammered. Any reason for a party! Go Canada!

Happy Canada Day!

Couldn’t help but think of you when I saw that. Much love on Canada Day.
Wednesday, 1 July, 2009 at 14:23
I checked google maps. Unless those bastards are lying to me again, I’ll be there in one day and 16 hours.
Save me a beer!
Wednesday, 1 July, 2009 at 14:27
I tried to spend my Canadian Tire money today, but the buggers were closed. You think of ALL stores that would be open on Canada Day, Canadian Tire would be one of them!
Happy Canada day!
Wednesday, 1 July, 2009 at 15:44
I’d like to meet up with you guys but it depends on Katie and how she’s behaving and how much my husband can stand of her. Can I send a maybe?
Wednesday, 1 July, 2009 at 16:13
I think you’re supposed to have donuts, too. It’s practically obligatory. Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself.
Happy Canada Day!
Wednesday, 1 July, 2009 at 16:32
Have a double double at Tim Horton’s on me, eh?
Wednesday, 1 July, 2009 at 16:45
Congrats on this special national holiday to my favorite Canadian redneck!
Wednesday, 1 July, 2009 at 17:06
Happy Canada Day.
I can’t wait to head up to the motherland this summer to visit my family and eat some poutine (yum, poutine). Don’t tell my mom I go home more for poutine than to see her

Happy Canada day from just over the border.

When I learned, at 29 years of age, that I’m Canadian (long story), I bought a number of books to help me learn about the culture and history of my fatherland, including:
“So You Want to Be Canadian”
“How to Be a Canadian”
“Canadian History for Dummies”
I quickly devoured the first two. The third one is kinda long, so I haven’t found time for it yet. But I have to say, I understood EVERY SINGLE ONE of those Canadian vocab words you just used. And I learned them in those books. This is so awesome!

Is this like our Fourth of July stuff? If so, why the hell are you Canadians trying to upstage us by celebrating three days earlier? You think you’re better than us? You wanna take this outside?
Happy Canada day! I hope whatever y’all do up there to celebrate was fun.
Thursday, 2 July, 2009 at 8:55
I hope you enjoyed Canada Day!
I’m also wondering more or less the same thing as Irrational Dad. Has Canada Day always been on July 1st? If so, I guess I’m fulfilling that classic American stereotype. I AM IGNORANT, HEAR ME ROAR.
Thursday, 2 July, 2009 at 9:29
LOVE the I.AM.CANADIAN clips… all of them!
Happy Canada Day (belated now!) to you too!
Thursday, 2 July, 2009 at 9:46
Happy Canada Day from the north coast of California – that’s in the States. We’ll be back…the kids love Tim Horton.

I’m not even going to ask what ‘poutine’ is. But it sounds like what me and my daughter call our private parts.
Thursday, 2 July, 2009 at 20:52
Ha! I posted the same video on MY blog for Canada Day. Awesome. Favourite parts: “And the best part of North America!!” YA!!
Thursday, 2 July, 2009 at 20:54
Oh, and I’d like to meet up. Of course, it just happens to be my daughter’s 6th birthday! UGH. Awful timing. There might be something cool we could do in Edmonton though on her birthday and I could squeeze in a visit. Where? When? Please let me know.
