O Canada
Our home and native land
True patriot love in all thy sons command
With glowing hearts we see the rise
The true North strong and free
From far and wide,
O Canada we stand on gaurd for thee
O Canada we stand on gaurd for thee

Hey kids! Today is July 1st, meaning it's
How did this wonderful day come to be? Well I have no idea😃 But according to my research it had to do with some documents and then people needing a holiday to celebrate the birth of Canada and viola!
Having said that, since I'm clearly useless when it comes to history, as you guys just figured out, lets talk about what I do know and about this amazing country and it's people😎
[-] Canadians have pet polar bears
[-] They worship beavers
[-] They have freaky accents and live off maple syrup
[-] They say 'eh' after everyword
[-] They live in igloos and play hockey for a living
[-] Everyone walks around with a hockey stick in their hand. That's why the crime rates in Canada are so low since everyone's afraid of crazy Canadian Hockey fans
[-] Tim Horton's is like a shrine. Every Canadian goes there at least once a day. If not then most likey they are not Canadian
[-] The RCMP is patroling everywhere on their horses, including in cities
[-] The currency used is called Canadian Tire money
All of the above are unfortunately not true. Except for the one about Tim Horton's. Timmie's is like the place to go. If you're ever in Canada, you have to get an iced cap😍
No only that but we got Wonderland😎 As well as Niagara Falls, Marine Land, the CN Tower, the Rocky Mountains, West Edmonton Mall [which happens to be Canada's biggest mall and it has water rides, amusement park, ice rink and everything😲] and other cool places. And now I'm starting to sound like a tour guide🤔😆 I wanna go to Marineland now😲 It's a magic place of ice and snow, where the sea lions kiss so the story goes😍
I can go on and on about all these cool places but I don't wanna brag😎 And let's get back to the topic at hand! Canada Day!
All over the country there will be various celebrations. In fact, where I live there are going to be stalls and activities at the mall so I'm gonna head on over there. Plus tomorrow there's free transit in my area [not sure about other places] so I'm gonna take advantage of that😎 Anyway, what about you guys? What plans do you have for this holiday? Post and share with us😃
For those that don't celebrate, have you ever been to Canada? If so, did you go to any cool places? Share your experience😃
