It's when the provinces of the time grouped together into a single country. Congratulations Canada, 150 years is a milestone.

The country has been in the news this week.

lol all of you.

Oh spot have you heard our PM speak... he embarrasses us.

It is our birthday but he is a lousy birthday gift I must say.

YZ good start

To be honest we keep getting the words of our national anthem changed to make it so gender neutral I just hum it now.

I know what you mean. We in the US will probably take out "the bombs bursting in the air" out of our national anthem because it sounds too manly..

He doesn't need to speak. Just stand there and look good. He apparently had nothing bad to say to Trump when he got the chance. :)
I expressly forbid the use of any of my posts anywhere outside of FG (with the exception of the incredibly witty 'get a room already' )posted recently.

Folks who'd like to copy my intellectual work should expect to pay me for it.:-6
