Happy Dominon Day, Canada!

July 1 is Canada Day (or Dominion Day as old school Canadians, ashamed of what Trudeau did to the country, call it).  Here is a list of why I grimace when I think of what has happened to The True North, once Strong and Free:

 

• The Canadian Broadcast Corporation
• The Rouge in Canadian Rules Football
• Sheila Copps
• Socialist Medical Care
• Gordon Lightfoot
• The Canadian Radio and Television Commission
• The Goods and Services Tax
• Lotteries
• Video Lottery Terminals
• Tobacco Taxes
• Curling
• Human Rights Commission
• The Amalgamation of the Canadian Military
• Provincial Sales Taxes
• Canadian Content Rules
• French on cereal boxes
• Policeman in Saskatchewan who can conjugate French verbs.
• Bryan Adams
• Celine Dion

I shouldn't actually include Curling and the Rouge (the one point given for missed field goals) on the list but I want it to be partially tongue and cheek.

 

I will spend the day not working.  If it stays sunny, as it is now, I will be taking Tony out on the electric bike.  We will be proudly wearing our Canadian t-shirts and underwear.

 

And of course, I will be taking Dominion Day photos and making special Dominion Day WTU's.
