What is a Canada Day?

[DuskTrooper 314]

Yes! Happy Canada Day!

(I'm not a Canuck, but, what the heck!)

[Skyfire2275 23]

@ sloppet: It is Canada's national holiday to celebrate its birth as a nation.

Is Canada Day like the 4th of July in America?

[Skyfire2275 23]

@ zzsim: Yeah, Canada Day is pretty much the same thing to Canada as July 4th is to the US.

^Fireworks, Parties, and a big festival on Parliment Hill in Ottawa (was there in 1998).

Those were good times. Speaking of which, there was a big concert going on a block from our house.

I'm vacationing in Calgary, so I got a taste of Calgary's Canada Celebrations (I live in Winnipeg). I went to Princess Island for the all-day celebrations and then went down to Cochrane for a rocking good concert!

Thank you to all those non-canadians who celebrate Canada Day with us!  It's greatly appreciated.  And yes, you better be appreciative... Canada gave you Simtropolis!!!

All I got in front of my house was a bunch of drunk guys shouting, etc. at 1:30 in the morning. Oh fun. I could hear the fireworks clearly from my house though.

Canada Day is also my birthday. I turned 19. I know that very, very few of us Americans know which day this is, as it is fun to answer the question of my date of birth with "Canada Day".

[psteverific 8]

I guess I'm a couple days late, but Happy Canada Day
       (and to the older Canadians out there... Happy Dominion Day)

Sure was a celebration here in Ottawa that day.
went downtown to see the crowds in the morning, then went home and had a few freinds over. 
Basically, I put on some Jamaican music, cooked up some polish sausages, on Italian rolls with French mustard, drank some German wine and some Spanish port... oh yeah, there was a Dutch beer in there somewhere too, and more or less celebrated the Cultural Mosaic that is Canada.

[beebs 129]

Heh.. I've sorta wanted to be in Ottawa on Canada Day. I'm sure Parliament Hill is just bustling with activity.

Holy crap Ratieya... I remember when you were 16, when we used to talk, over at the Simcity 4 official site...  how the years go by...

[Skyfire2275 23]

@ beebs: Canada Day in Ottawa is indeed bustling. They close al lthe roads downtown and peope swarm parliament hil lfor the fireworks and concert, etc... Cool huh, a concert in front of the parliament buildings. At least there was a few year sago, I don't know if they still do that. The one draw back though is that every year for the past 7 I think it has rained or thunder or hail or something on Canada Day. This year they were calling for storms so I didn't go downtown... But every year until now I did. And I got rained on... oh boy did I get wet... might as well have jumped in the canal. Oh did I mention the hail? Good thing I was inside. Indeed this is the time of year for storms. Other than that, it doesn't dampen the fun too much and people continue partying despite what the weather is doing.

Three guys also pissed on the war memorial in Ottawa...

[Skyfire2275 23]

Yeah, it's sad and disrespectful. I would like to say more, but I have nothing more to say that won't get me edited or banned.

EDIT: There is always someone who stands out in the crowd in the wrong way.

[beebs 129]

Ugh... don't get me started on those idiots...

Skyfire2275: Not much over here in Edmonton. Pancake breakfasts, stuff at the Leg/City Hall/Hawrelak Park and stuff. Then the fireworks at around 11pm (which this year was apparantly really good). Didn't go watch them this year because every other year, they end up being terrible.

[your_adress_here 11]

I was in Regina during the fireworks, but didn't go see them. I must rather go see the fireworks at teh Casino de Hull this summer. It's an international contest between many countries.

If it was up to me, they'd be at sea for the rest of their natural lives.  However, the law says that they'll get charged for mischief of some kind, like public urination.  They were probably drunk or stoned or both.

[Zelgadis 638]

Yay, it was my first Canada Day!  After two more of those, I get to be a citizen of this fantastic country! 

Looking forward to my first Canada Day as a Canadian in 2009.
