Happy Dominion Day!!

I'm old school ;D  Hey Bill, ever notice when people say "Canada Day" quickly, it sounds like Can da da day? ::)

Maybe we Canadians, loving stat holidays as much as we do, should start a new one on July 4 in hounor of the USA's Independance Day. We could call it Dependance Day! :o

I guess that term never hit the wild west...Before 1982 Canada Day had been known as Dominion Day, First of July, Confederation Day, and July the First.  For a good read about the history of the phrase "Dominion", take a look at: http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/24917

Hey in a few days it will be July the Fourth!   Happy Independence Day neighbors!

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

I Grew up in Peterborough ON. and don't recall Confed Day, interesting! Another thing that could be said that makes us "Canadian" we're so spread out that we have different dialects, haw haw ;D!

It was a nice holiday. Nice to see that Parliament hill crowd expanded by 30,000 over normal. By that and this discussion it is encouraging to see that we appreciate what we have.

Schmthaus, thank you. and have a great 4th! God Bless America!

Actually, to tell the truth, I only vaguely remember the day being called "Confederation Day".  However, at a pub in Mount Albert last Tuesday, our team came second in the trivia contest and one of the questions that we successfully answered was: "What are the three names that the 1st of July has been known as?"  The answer was: Dominion Day, Canada Day, and Confederation Day.

Possibly it was commonly Confederation Day before my lifetime. That would certainly make sense as that's what the celebration is of... Confederation. I do like either the name Confederation or Dominion Day over Canada Day; too many EH's  ;) ;D
