Canada (Since July 1, 1867!)
British North America Act, 1867

Posted on 06/30/2009 7:43:55 PM PDT by Loyalist

Whereas the Provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick have expressed their Desire to be federally united into One Dominion under the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, with a Constitution similar in Principle to that of the United Kingdom:

And Whereas such a Union would conduce to the Welfare of the Provinces and promote the interests of the British Empire: ...

Be it therefore enacted and declared by the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the Authority of the same, as follows:

It shall be lawful for the Queen, by and with the Advice of Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, to declare by Proclamation that, on and after a Day therein appointed, not being more than Six Months after the passing of this Act, the Provinces of Canada, of Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick shall form and be One Dominion under the name of Canada; and on and after that Day those Three Provinces shall form and be One Dominion under that Name accordingly.

In Days of yore, from Britain's shore,
Wolfe the dauntless hero came,
And planted firm Britannia's flag,
On Canada's fair domain.

Here may it wave, our boast, our pride,
And joined in love together,
The thistle, shamrock, rose entwine,
The Maple Leaf forever!

I love Canada, I usually go to Toronto for a weekend getaway every year. This year I'm going to Winnipeg and next year it'll be Regina.

I just go to the local package store. I get my Molson’s run up by a young lady who is a crimalien from Canada, but she is cute and law-abiding.

It seems like such a nice place except 1. No guns 2. Nationalized health care 3. Too cold. ;-)

Too cold? Try visiting Toronto in July when the temp and humidity is in the 90’s.

You’re very welcome South Dixie!

Canada Day message from Prime Minister Harper

On this day, one hundred and forty-two years ago, Confederation was born. Today, we celebrate the most peaceful, prosperous, and enduring democracy the world has ever known. We reflect on the wisdom of our ancestors who built this great land and we give thanks to those brave Canadians who risk their lives to defend us, here and around the world. Together we have faced a challenging year but we Canadians are strong and resilient people. Looking around the world, Canada has fared better than most. And looking to the future, Canada is poised to lead. We must never forget that our country, our way of life, did not happen by accident. We are a product of diverse peoples committed to common values. A country that cherishes freedom, democracy, and justice. A country proud of our past and confident in our future. So on behalf of my family, and the entire government, I want to wish Canada a very happy birthday. May God continue to keep our land glorious and free.

Now who's for a big ol' gooey clump of poutine? And to wash it down,

OK, never mind the poutine... :-)

Happy Canada Day, from your #1 trading partner! Keep the lumber, oil, and greenhouse veggies coming! :)

BTW: We have Coffee Crisp down here now, if you know where to look.
