Happy Dominion Day (Canada)

July 1st is Canada's birthday. The July 1st holiday is equivalent to July

double-decker

Are they "tourist" double-deckers, or public transit double-deckers, like we have here in daily service in Victoria, BC?

You mean you flipped a coin against Britain for the Newfies and Canada lost the toss?

Do Canadians still call themselves 'Canucks' or is that term now out-of-date? And how do you pronounce it; 'canook' or 'canuhk'? Regards from Oz. Bill.

Except if you happen to be an old phart like me.....and it is still 'Dominion Day'. I still fly the Red Ensign too...;0)

Yeah, have a good one, Ian, all the best to our Canadian friends from Oz. Fly your flag high and proud. And this time, no bets, no need to fly the boxing kangaroo...

First, Happy Canada day to the fine folks north of us (a day late)! I'm curious (as a American), about the good natured (at least I hope it is) abuse that the folks from New Foundland take. My family and I are planning to take a 3 week vacation there in August and all of our dealings with the people there, (making reservations, getting information), have been quite enjoyable. We are all very excited and looking forward to going there.

What's the inside joke?

Mr. Trudeau is very dismayed :-(

Reminds me of a small bilboard I saw somewhere in Saskatchewan when driving up to see a friend in the Edmonton area:

Remember your heritage..........think miles.

Yes, we are still Canucks (pron. 'canuhk') except our politicians -- they're 'Canuckleheads'. The Vancouver NHL team's name is the 'Canucks'

Two things I remember from Mad magazine (probably 1976 or so...)

Taffy was a rich man Taffy was connected Taffy spent five hundred grand To get his man elected (wish I could remember the rest)

There was a crooked man Who had a crooked laugh And he ran a crooked office And he hired a crooked staff. ... So why vote for the crooked man Whose crooked ways you see? Because the rival candidate Is crookeder than he!

Me, too. I think I'm the kiss of death for a candidate. If I like him, he'll finish dead last in the primary.
