Canada Day

[Auntie Mistletoe]

Canada Day is celebrate on July 1st. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/AuntieMistletoe/canada004CanadianFlag.gif

With a little help from YouTube, I'd like to share a few clips of Canada with not only our National Anthem and great footage including the Flag many users might recognize today, but also an earlier flag and a song that moves me sometimes more than O' Canada depending on my mood.

Take a look and feel free to comment. And for all you "hosers" out there, I've included a clip for you too.

Trust me folks, Bob and Doug and The Trailer Park Boys and William Shatner are not true icons of our Canadian image - Jim Carey is a bit more fitting if you ask me.

This one shows a little more than Bob, Doug & Jim

During the last few seconds of the Gold Medal Olympic Hockey Game (2007) fans broke into song with O’ Canada our national anthem.

I love when stuff like that happens.

The Maple Leaf For Ever: Written by Alexander Muir and performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Anne Murray did a nice job with the same song, but my dad prefers the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's version.

For the "Hosers, eh"
Bob and Doug Mackenzie - Happy Canada Day, eh!

How beautiful

[Auntie Mistletoe]

You guessed it Christy - hardly anybody works today and those who do get double-time and a half.

They have fireworks every night in Niagara (weather conditions permitting). We missed it a few summers ago when we were there. For some reason we were in Haunted House at the time.

This is an excellent song by a Barbershop group - here they perform America & O Canada blended beautifully together with lovely harmony.

I first heard it in my dad's car last March when my husband and I picked my parents up at the airport in Toronto.

I'm listening to it now. Great singing. You can't beat the human voice.

:c71: I liked how "real" a few of them got when they finished and were proud of their performace. "High Five's" and "whoop-whoops" are not what you'd expect to see from a choral group.

Happy Canada Day!

I would like to wish all my fellow Canada's on CT, a Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada day............

Hope you all had a great Canada day!

[Paul_C_69]

Hopefully everyone had a good day! I wonder what percentage of people managed to get today off so they could have a real long weekend. It got me thinking though, the Canada flags come out strong that day but you rarely see them more than a few weeks after...people just aren't that big into flags around here I guess.

It was nice to see Sony in the US actually acknowledged it was Canada day in their Home program on the PS3. They even made free Canada day t-shirts for your avatar to wear. :)

If you are talking about Bruce's hat, yes it is the only one that he will leave on. His brother bought it for him for Christmas last year.

I'm a little late on this but oh well. :) It's been crazy busy here with school finishing up and such.
Canada day was good...had a parade, kids played in a bouncy house, had good food and a wagon ride. :) The older two kids like the fireworks but my 4 yr. old didn't and just wanted to go home. lol! Maybe next year she will enjoy them more.
