July 1 is Canada Day. As someone said, Canadians celebrate their national holiday by spending an extra minute during the day feeling superior to Americans. That isn't very charitable, and it isn't true. There are only so many minutes in the day. Actually, we spend it rolling around in maple syrup and debating the politics of language and subsidiary sovereignty. That went over well at work today.
Here is Finlay reading a German newspaper of note with two headlines "Save the German language" and "Where Obama is wrong". He's also posing with some vaguely Canadian things - brownies, his black Canada shirt, and hotdogs. On July 1 in Toronto, hotdogs are sold to the masses for the symbolic price of 5 cents, which is apparently what they cost in 1867, at Canada's Confederation. It's a nice gesture, but perhaps historically inaccurate.
Happy Canada Day!
