Happy Canadia Day! I’ll have a shot of fireball and some Mac and Cheese to celebrate with you guys. Is... is that what you do? I wouldn’t know. We U. S. Americans have no clue what’s going on outside of our borders. Ever.

I can't believe I've made it this far in life and haven't known this about my Neighbors to the North. Happy 1st of July Canada.

Normally this is a day that we as Canadians get to show our patriotism publicly instead of keeping it to ourselves which is so typically Canadian. This year is a little different thanks to the rude and insulting behavior of Trump and his crew towards Canada.

Technically it was the British that set the Whitehouse alight. Canada did not become an official country until 1867. ?
@Science-guy Technically Canada existed since Jacques Cartier misinterpreted the Huron word for village to mean the whole country and in the war of 1812 we were already the British Colony of Canada after defeating the French on the Plains of Abraham. British regulars and Canadian/British militias were involved in the rout of the Americans forces in Washington. Part of the reason for that war was that the British, which includes the British in Canada did not acknowledge American sovereignty, still considering them a bunch of rag tag rebels that would soon realize the error of their ways and return to the British fold. Even though the Americans started and lost that war, they like to call it a draw, kind of like Vietnam was a draw. 
My ancestors sailed over back in 1753 so we fought the Indians, the French and the Americans as well as each other, what kind of party doesn't have a good punch up anyways. lol
Since one of my favorite animals is know for being Canadian, even though they are found the world over (ok, cold climates mostly), I like Canada.
I really liked it when visiting, and when browsing store and forgetting I had greenbacks and asking if they take them, and ever shopkeeper would look at us puzzled and say "you're American? But.. your nice!"
