I think the 1982 change to Canada Day was simply reflecting what people called it already. My dad the history prof still thinks it should be Dominion Day, but it's always been Canada Day to me.
I celebrated with a breakfast of maple syrup and pancakes.

I did shots of Crown!
I'm sure we will have a late celebration here in VA Beach once my parents arrive from Ottawa tonight. Maybe celebrate with a plateful of poutin? Yumm...my mouth is watering now!

We are independant from GB. We choose to recognize the Queen and to be part of the Commonwealth. And some of us like it that way.
But not all of us.
Thus why I said "some"!
Anyway, Happy Canada Day (belated), I spent it at a cottage - totally appropriate way to celebrate.

And then we get begged to step in when GB & the kiddies get in a fight they can't win.......Rolls eyes

Are you referring to the point in '40 where everything but the kitchen sink were used to evacuate dunkirk?
