Happy Canada Day!

Bettie Ido

July 1 is Canada Day, and we also celebrate with barbecues, fireworks and parades.  It's also usually the first day of the summer holidays, so everyone is happy, happy, happy.




Canadians have the reputation of being very polite.  Of course we have our share of rude, obnoxious people, but it's nice to have this reputation, eh?
