No news today because I’m celebrating Canada Day and thus shouldn’t be allowed near any kind of public address system. Work will continue as usual come Wednesday so stay tuned. Here are some great pictures and video from previous Canada Days from around the country to keep you entertained and not QuicklyBored.
Yo yo, I’m from Scotland and I was wondering if you could describe what Canada day is exactly
Canada Day is the day Canadians wear a flag as a cape and walk around their respective city getting drunk.
Historically, this is the day Britain decided to unite Eastern Canada with the rest of the other provinces back in 1867 but nobody knows that or cares.
Here are some other things you may not have known about Canada:
1- Canadians know big words. Maybe it’s our UK-based education but we can say ostentatious without feeling ostentatious.
2- We were abandoned by Pamela Anderson, Bret Hart, Leonard Cohen, Meg Tilly, Shalom Harlow, Doug Henning, Jack Black, Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, Neil Young, Linda Evangelista, Todd McFarlane, and the guy who did Ren & Stimpy.
3- We invented basketball. I mean, sure it happened in America but it was a Canadian gym teacher that suggested people throw balls in a basket and it was then later his idea to cut a hole in the thing.
4- We burnt the White House to the ground. In fact, they call it the White House because America wanted it to look proud like a white Phoenix after being blackened into nothingness. We were technically “Britain” up until 1982. So, sorry guys, Canada set all of Washington alight back in 1814.
