Happy Canada Day!
Quote:
Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada) is the national day of Canada, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act, 1867 (today called the Constitution Act, 1867), which united three colonies into a single country called Canada within the British Empire. Originally called Dominion Day (French: Le Jour de la Confédération), the holiday was renamed in 1982, the year the Canada Act was passed. Canada Day observances take place throughout Canada as well as among Canadians internationally.
Take the Quiz (I got 8 out of 10, but then a touron might have an advantage in such a quiz)

Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

I think it's cute that they have their own little holiday.

well, because I'm not going to know any more about Canada the second time around than I do now.

as far as national anthems go, it is quite a number. * their money is prettier than ours too. (* although the Black Ingvars' metal version of Du Gamla Du Fria does kick some serious ass.)

9 out of 10! I only missed the answer for the national motto. Perhaps my Canadian co-worker is correct in his assumption that I seem more Canadian than he does.

4 out of 10, but the questions they had were largely irrelevant. I mean where were the questions about tooks, cold ones, hosers, doughnuts, and back bacon eh?

Most questions regarding Canada are that way, unless they are about hockey, beer, and/or moose.
