While it was an accident of birth that made us Canadian rather than a citizen/resident of some other country ... we are thankful for our good fortune. We are thankful for our freedom to build our lives as we feel appropriate, without the need to watch our mouth, our step and our choice of friends lest we make some dictator and his cohorts unhappy. Many of us have a measure of respect and affection for our fellow citizens and the communities we share and feel it important to nurture them and leave them better for our children. Also to work with the people of other nations to work toward a world community where we can build increasing respect and trust. Maybe the corona virus showing us that we are all in the same boat may help us to be more willing to work together. Let us, as we celebrate alone, be thankful for our good fortune and rededicate ourselves to building a country of which we can be thankfully proud, folks. Some of us feel that, in today's world, democracy is at risk and feel that we should work toward strengthening it ... and our freedom, as well. Good wishes for having a great year ahead, fellow Canadians. And similar good wishes for you, our valued neighbours to our south, as you celebrate your country and its people in a few days. ole joyfuelled

Hoping all you other Canadians are having a fruitful and happy day. My main celebration was hearing a special 2 hour celebration of Gordon Lightfoot's music led by many great entertainers who knew and loved that fine musician and composer in Massey Hall, Toronto, where he had played many times. Many testified to his friendly, humble manner and how much they miss him. It was broadcast on CBC television and radio and I am pretty sure can be available on their apps on demand at cbc.ca, their app for television being "gem" and for radio it's "listen". I am somewhat troubled by the reduction in supplies of professional journalism: the press gallery in our national and provincial capitals used to be vigorous but has shrunk to a shadow of their former sizes as so many newspapers have shrunk or closed, many in small cities and towns, as millions of advertising dollars have migrated to silicon valley. It seems to me that our democracy depends on widespread professionally provided news being available. With so much informatiom available now, much claiming to be real news and true, if you please, that it's getting quite difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. We all need to work on keeping our precious freedom and democracy operating for all our citizens. In a by-election in Toronto the other day ... 44 per cent of eligible voters felt it important enough to vote that they showed up. ole joyful

Happy Canada Day. Several years ago we were up in Canada and not knowing that many of the stores and eating places would be closed, I had a very unhappy sister in law, but we were treated so nice and even invited to several bar-b-ques. We did find a chain restaurant open. To all, have a great day!

My favorite radio station is playing a bunch of songs by Canadian artists this morning; Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, etc.

Grandma's side of the family came from Nova Scotia, so I feel a connection.

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada day to all our friends up north.

We are nowhere near as patriotic as our friends in the States.
We have fireworks, some parades, barbecues. There are classic car shows....just whatever towns want to do to celebrate our birthday.

Yours is such a big deal, I'd love to hang out with some of you for your July 4th.

Do you celebrate it Wednesday, or tomorrow, or next weekend for a long weekend?

Wow Sherry, how can yo say that? Sure it is a big deal to many of us, just like Independence Day is for those in the US. I fly my flag everyday and I thank God everyday that I was born in Canada. I guess that is something my foreign born Mom drilled into us. Come to Windsor on Canada Day and you will see how patriotic we really are.

I love living in Canada as well, and am glad to be Canadian, but I honestly, truly believe that we aren't as patriotic as America. I'll bet I can count on my two hands how many people (not businesses) that fly the flag everyday. In the US that is very common.

People put up a few flags on Canada Day and they come down shortly after.

Lots of flags around here all year round. We even have a "Canada House" decorated "all Canadian" My flag flies all seasons. The minute gets a hole in it it gets replaced. I look out my bedroom window and see a huge Canadian flag waving in the wind every morning. The flowers in my flower pots are red and white like our Canadian flag. Not just on Canada Day. Just because some people aren't "flag wavers" doesn't diminish how patriotic they are. You just have to cross the border once between Windsor and Detroit to realize that or to travel anywhere outside of the country. My luggage is even decorated with Canadian flag stickers. Travel to Holland and you will get a real good dose of how proud you are to show your Canadian patriotism.

I belong to a group on FB, people who grew up in the same small town that I did. They live far and wide across Canada and some live in the US and many times a day something is posted to show how uniquely and proudly Canadian we are. If I participate in a KT swap, I always try to send items that represent Canada because I am patriotic just like those who live in the US are proud to show where they live.

Maybe it depends what city you live or what area. We Windsorites are truly patriotic as are most of my friends across Canada.
