Folks, today is July 1 and I noticed that the wall Calendar in my office says July 1 is "Canada Day". Could somebody from that side of the Border please explain the significance of "Canada Day". note: I'm making an assumption that it's the equivalent of "the Fourth of July" holiday here in the States. regards, Bob

Or at least roughly. I've no idea what specific event in US history July 4 is the anniversary of. Canada Day, which used to be called Dominion Day, is the anniversary of the signing of the treaty agreeing to confederate several colonies of Britian into a single, self-governing, dominion, that was somewhat smaller than the Canada of today. |
