This is puzzling. I started a thread wishing all our friends north of the border a Happy Canada Day, and the thread disappeared. I'll try again. Happy Canada Day!
Thanks, Eh!
Thanks indeed!
Happy Canada Day all, or to those who remember it being called it, Happy Dominion Day!!!!!!

Happy Canada Day to all! Since I have some other Canadians on board here now I would like to know if there are any Model T functions taking place along the way as I will be traveling from Vancouver heading east leaving Vancouver October 14, Regards John
Happy Canada Day fellow Canadians! I spent a few hours working on my TT. Trying to get it finished up! Now off to the fireworks and a few cold "pops" later.
Cheers!
HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Anja and I were reminiscing today. The Canadian community in St Louis used to have a picnic on the Sunday closest to July 1st to celebrate Canada Day. This was around 20 years ago or so. The head of the Barnes Jewish Hospital Department of Otolaryngology was Canadian and the picnic was held at his and his wife's elegant home in a suburb. Good food, Canadian beer and a swimming pool. End of the afternoon/early evening, one of the attendees would get out his guitar and Canadian songs would be sung. Many specifically provincial songs as well as many generally Canadian ones. The only unspoken rule I remember is that the guitar player was from Quebec, so we never sang "The Maple Leaf Forever."
Since he's not on this forum....

Sorry, but now I'm really getting into my Canadian roots. Was thinking... My great-grandmother was born in North Augusta, Ontario, in October of 1866. At the age of nine, she was orphaned and went to live with her older married sister on a farm outside Napanee. She ended up married to a grocer in Kingston, where she had three children. The eldest, my grandmother, married a graduate student at Queens who came from the Maritimes. (Her brother enlisted in the Canadian Army and died at Vimy Ridge. He's buried in France.) My dad was born in Kingston in 1909 and my grandparents and he were still Canadian at the time. My grandparents were naturalized American in the early 1920's, although my great-grandmother remained Canadian all her life. I was the only kid in our neighborhood who knew what roast beef and Yorkshire pudding was (and ate it regularly at Sunday dinner).
Happy Canada Day to some great neighbors, Allies, and friends.
