The Dominion of Canada is 150 years old today!

Post by NekoMaster »

As I post this it is Canada Day (July 1, 2017)

Post what you want here about Canada or Canada Day celebrations. Posting things like "Canada is Communist" or other mean things is unacceptable :P



I for one will be drinking all day and chilling out with my family and youtube. I might even get some gaming in depending on my mood. At least I already have a head start, I'm still drunk from last nights drinking :)

Happy Canada Day my fellow Canadians :)

I thought about making a joke about those young colonial nations (the farm my family is from is older than that ^^) but then I remembered that, depending on how you look at it, Germany is at least 4 years younger. So I'll shut up. Tsk.

ps: export more maple syrup!

In all seriousness though, kudos to Canada. Great country, with a functioning healthcare system and a beacon of light compared to their Southern neighbours :P

By my calculations, I should have enough beer to last me until midnight :)

I'm going to be drunk all day and night :)

I've been told Ontario has a dense population.

Don't know how true that is, but it could explain the funny way they talk up there...

But is also completely not wrong to say, that the first Germany »state« (East Francia) was found 843 after the treaty of Verdun by Louis »the German«. But the Holy Roman Empire, found 962, was a very lax empire, and it ended 1806. And the German Empire of 1871 was the first a bit centralised state, but Germany is even today very federal. (Different school systems...)

Its mostly around the north western shores of Lake Ontario, and I wasn't aware of any funny accents in Ontario unless you mean the stereotypical canadian accent (Thats more out west in Alberta and BC)

Its not bad being drunk, but its not a good idea to drink all the time. I save it for the weekends or holidays so my week is sober and I can enjoy getting things done and playing games properly.

Though I do wonder, where did my shorts go? I dont remember taking them off.

Are you deliberately misunderstanding him or is Canadian humor worse than German humor? He's talking about you getting drunk by somebody else. It's a pun. A play on words. ^^;

Couldn't hurt to visit Canada some day, though if you come in the Summer chances are its going to be hot. If you come in the winter, its going to be pretty cold (especially in January and February)

Canada obviously has a lot going for it - been there many times myself for both "business" and pleasure.

I'm curious: what quality of Canada are you the most proud of?

I like the fact I wont get nuked by China, Russa or NOrth Korea, at least not at first :)

Also as a poor person, I like that I have free health care.

Well, they'll all fly above your heads... Also, "russa" must be one strange animal :lol:

I'd be happy because you still manage to have a monarch somewhere in your system. Shows the maturity.
