Canada celebrates Confederation on July 1st.🇨🇦
As far as country ages go, 150 is an odd birthday to pick for Canada. Why not a date from the 1600s? Or the 1760s after the battle of Abraham? I get 1982 doesn't give us the gravitas wanted for a G7 country but it would make sense and be inclusive. OTOH this is when we were one country coast to coast. Nothing highlights the oddity of nation building like our arbitrary birthday.
But I will enjoy the fireworks, I've got my 🍁 tshirt and jandals.

ReplyDeleteGreat point Ryan Moore well said. I still think it should be our 50,000th birthday, according to some theorist.
