CANADA DAY
|
CANADA DAY  Today is Canada Day, celebrating the enactment of the British North America Act on 1 July 1867. Here are ten bits of trivia in honour of Canada: 1. The border between Canada and the US, at 5,525 miles long, is the world’s longest border between countries; Canada also has the world's longest coastline at 125,566 miles. 2. Canada did not have a national flag until 1965 when it adopted the maple leaf flag. 3. In Ontario, a public health agency has designed the video game, Adventures in Sex City, to promote safe sex for teenagers; the game includes a team of superheroes, protected by condom shields, and a villain called the Sperminator – see above picture! 4. Behind Russia, Canada is the second largest country in the world; it is nearly three times the size of Australia, more than 18 times the size of France, about 28 times the size of Germany and nearly 41 times the size of the UK. 5. The ice-hockey loving Canadian, Mark Carney, has just been appointed the new Governor of the Bank of England; he has been described as the George Clooney of banking! 6. A Canadian, James Naismith, invented the game of basketball in 1891. 7. A black bear cub from Canada named Winnipeg, and shortened to Winnie, was donated to London Zoo and inspired the author A A Mine’s to write the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. 8. While Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Trudeau dated the Hollywood actress, Barbra Streisand. 9. The longest street in the world is Yonge Street in Ontario; it is 1,178 miles long. 10. According to the not-always-reliable Urban Dictionary, there are sex acts called the Newfoundland lobster pot, Saskatoon totem pole, the two-handed Zamboni, Canadian cream pie, brown icicle, Montreal meat pie, and squatting Eskimo! What does Canada mean to you? If from Canada, what is the best thing about Canada? If not from Canada, have you visited Canada? To me, Canada means the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, ice hockey, Sidney Crosby and Wayne Gretzky, lacrosse, maple syrup, moose, bears, Chris Hadfield, William Shatner, John Candy, Pamela Anderson, Rush, Bryan Adams, Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne, Celine Dion, Alberta’s tar sands, Calgary Stampede, Eskimos and igloos, Parti Québécois, the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Mike Weir, Gilles Villeneuve, Eugenie Bouchard, Hudson’s Bay Company, Saint Lawrence River, and Toronto’s CN Tower. And, Canada is not the US! I have visited Canada once. I spent a week in Quebec City, which I thought was an amazing un-American-like city. I think the Canadian flag is one of the best flags in the world. |

Canada is our friendly neighbor to the North, eh. I've been there several times as a kid. My grandparents would take us fishing in Lake of the Woods, near Nestor Falls, Ontario. One with my family I went as far north as Winnipeg. -- My dad inherited his dad's boat and still keeps it up there. My family still goes up there once or twice a year. They want me to come along, but I have a criminal record now (Nothing too major, just a DUI and a felony. I've heard that either can prevent entry.) so I'm not sure if I'd be able to get a passport. Border security has increased a lot since I was a kid.

I had to think for a moment, as Eugenie Beauchard is a fairly new name to me. Interesting list of thinks you think of when you think of Canada. I was a little bit surprised you mentioned the Montreal Olympics, but not the Calgary or Vancouver Winter Games. That must mean you are fan of summer sports (as in cycling), but not so much winter ones. Thanks for sharing another great post on our Birthday. Check out my profile or and become a "watcher" of my blog FMAOPLS,to learn more about me, and for intelligent, lively, smartassy and fun discussion, with a little irreverence thrown in. "Like" or comment on my photos, and I promise I'll add more. Thanks.
