The time I helped my friend install a kitchen in a house in Germany is when I "got it"! The water supply lines are measured in inside diameter and drains measured in O.D. even thought they transcribe the sizes (1 1/4-1 1/2 inch) into metric. That's Merican! When we rebuilt Germany, we used American standard although they changed it to metric. Any plumbers here will get it also!
Interesting. You refer to the 4th of July as ‘Independence Day’. Many ignorant people know it only as ‘the 4th of July’ and some do not know why it is celebrated.
Here in Canada, our ‘national holiday’ is called ‘Canada Day’. It has been known as such since October 27, 1982.
Canada was created on July 1, 1867. From its creation in 1867 until October 27, 1982, the day was known as ‘Dominion Day’. Who’s government changed the name? It was under our current Prime Mistake’s father, Pierre Trudeau (aka Rocky Waterhole) that ‘Dominion Day’ met its demise.
At Canada’s founding, the Fathers of Confederation were unsure what to call the country. Was it a ‘Kingdom’? Was it a ‘Confederation’? What to call it? As the Fathers of Confederation were all Christian, many devout in their beliefs, they chose a word from the Bible, Psalm 72:8. That word is ‘Dominion’, as in the ‘Dominion of Canada’. In fact, Canada’s motto is (in latin) ‘A Mari usque ad Mare’, (from sea to sea), also from Psalm 72:8.
Rocky Waterhole, like his (apparent) spawn, Justin(e) True-dope, was a communist/Maoist. Calling the country a ‘Dominion’, after a Biblical phrase, was an insult to him. Instead, he came up with ‘Canada Day’. He also got rid of a large number of references to ‘tradition’. For example, until 1968, our navy was the ‘Royal Canadian Navy’, our airforce was the ‘Royal Canadian Air Force’. All government departments soon included the ‘Canada’. For example, ‘Canada Post’ (originally ‘Royal Mail Canada’) or ‘Revenue Canada’ (’Department of National Revenue’).
Kanaduh is lost. Too much immigration for too many years, a MSM that is socialist, and a socialist education system, has led to a majority of socialist in Canada. Conservativism in Canada will never again be able to win an election. America is heading that way.
It will be a difficult battle but Patriots in the US have to defend their country and Constitution ‘against all enemies, foreign and domestic’. Right now, America is under heavy attack internally by Maoists bent on tearing down America. They are being aided and abetted by the Dhimmicrat Party who will do ANYTHINGA to bring down Trump.
May God bless America.
