Today marks the 150th birthday of Canada and I have to say the old girl is looking pretty good for her age all things considered.
We've come a long way since 1867 and that historic moment when we changed from the Province of Canada to become the Dominion of Canada and a nation in our own right.
I'm proud to be Canadian and am grateful to my mother for having never surrendered her citizenship and thus permitting me to claim my own back in 1995, making the move from Southern California back to my native homeland.
It's going to one raucous party downtown come rain or shine and I hope everyone gets a chance to bump into someone and then say sorry.....it's just what we do and it makes us who we are in more ways than one.
I'm not really doing anything special myself as I'm partially on call to be the designated driver for my son and his friends as there is a rather large party going down at one of the friends later this afternoon stretching into the night. I'll make sure to be walking Moki later when the fireworks go off over at the KRC Walter Baker Centre and get my smiles on for sure.
So here is hoping everyone has a great day celebrating our nations 150th birthday and here is to the next 150 years as well..........
And of course this wouldn't be complete without our furry friends involvement :-)
So whether you are in Canada with family and friends. one of the many Canadians travelling abroad, or in our awesome military serving oversees and keeping the world a better place please accept my best wishes on this momentous day.
Happy Birthday Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marcus the proud Canadian
