Canada Day


Oh Canada! I've spent most of my day watching the history channel tucked out of the rain and gloominess that has betaken us on Canada's 142nd Birthday, but in this time I've indulged my mind with the history of our many great innovations, courageous soldiers of war and above all great people of the incredibly patriotic country we live in and love. I urge you to do the same. Get out tonight and show your colours no matter the weather. Light your works of fire and celebrate a country that has been much like a warm hug on a cold winters eve for people of all cultures. To some it may mean shelter and refuge from a world that ceased to accept them. To others this country has provided new hopes and opportunities for a better future. Give thanks to all those who made this possible for us and let's continue to keep Canada a peaceful and glorious place. As a tribute to great canadians and country, I have compiled a series of photographs that I hope you enjoy as much as I have.

Happy Birthday Canada!
