Did you wave a maple leaf? Kiss a beaver? Ride a moose?
If not, then you didn't celebrate the Canadian way... now all my Canuck friends are howling with laughter thinking about how the rest of the world views Canadians.
What do we really do in Canada to mark this occasion?
If you're in Toronto you, you leave for the cottage in the Muskokas.
In Muskoka, they raid the beer stores and empty the shelves.
If you haven't got a cottage to go to, there are fireworks at Harbourfront, live jazz in the Beaches, World Cup on every TV in every bar in the city, no shortage of street parties and everyone gets a long weekend out of the deal. It's all typically Canadian except in Quebec where they hold out for Bastille Day on July 14th... typically French, but they still take the weekend off to sneer at Canada Day.
I went out for Indian food with my neighbour Kathleen, her daughter Kara & my friend Kim from Yoga class. For me it was a typical way to celebrate Canada Day with good food & friends.
So saluté
Happy Canada Day

A real Canadian celebrates Canada Day by riding through the Great White North on a moose, wearing only a maple leaf with a beaver on his head!
