Frequently referred to as "Canada's birthday," Canada Day is celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867 enactment of the British North America Act of 1867, which united Canada as a single country of four provinces.
Canada Day observances take place throughout Canada as well as internationally. So happy Canada Day and and Happy 142nd Birthday Canada!
Canada Rocks!

Happy birthday then, to our Northern neighbors.
So I take it, Canada was under some sort of Imperial rule at one point?...the British Empire?

As a small fun fact, Canada was the only country in the world that gained it's independance from any of the Empires that have clamed land on this planet,
symply by asking nicely.
 AND yes you are correct Thyssen!

It's a good tactic. More places should try it
 .
Just not on the olde British Empire, who were really pretty horrible back in the day.  |

Well, at least you got the day off. But they only paid you in change?
How heavy was that coffee can, full of change, for a day's pay?..??

Your days off aren't normally paid? I mean, if you take leave.

The only time I get payed days off, is on the Stat holidays, and normaly i'm still working those days... So the statment "For a change" was I
accualy got the day off.
If I book time off, the only way I get money from it is if a ask for my vacation pay. |

That's kinda how it works for me, but I get 26 days leave a year paid. If I don't take them though, they go bye byes. So I have to make sure I take
them during the year or that paid time off vanishes.
