Toronto sucks. I go for work pretty often, it's intensely boring. Ottawa SUCKS, it truly doesn't have anything to offer as a city. Montreal is great as is Vancouver and the wilderness in BC/Alberta. All in all, happy to be born in the land of the free.

Currently in the process of getting my Canadian wife a green card. Traveling to Toronto every weekend to be with her, that city knows how to party.

My Dad was born and raised in Canada, and from him I have gained (among a great many things) Canadian citizenship and a lifelong love of the country. I'm an American, but Canada is still a part of me.

A beautiful and wonderful nation. Sometimes self-conscious, sometimes too keen on being different from its brother to the South, yet strong and steadfast and good. She sacrificed her children in World War I before the United States ever set foot on the continent, and she fought along side us at Normandy.

I'm glad I can enjoy a small part of this. Happy birthday, Canada.

a great and rousing song. kind of like ND's fight song which you have to (grudgingly) admit is a very good #2 to the victors.   

beautiful country,  a lot larger than most of us realize.  and man, do they like their hockey players.

...also, we'd like to return your Bieber...all-in-all you folks are pretty nice, and we all enjoy your deference toward the long pronunciation of vowels, but we would consider it a neighborly act of you kind people to take that little prick of a Canadian anomaly back and give him a good spanking (or donate his organs early, whatever), and we can all consider it water over the dam, eh?

in Pointe Edward just north of the Blue Water Bridge on Canada Day about 20 years ago. Quite a collection of Canadian bands (The Headstones absolutely rocked). 

Copious amounts of Canadian beer and a lot of reefer floating around. Pretty classic Midwestern party experience with people staggering all over the place. Beautiful night on the river with some great music!

A little late, but hopefully all of our MGoCanadians hada most excellent Canada Day. I did indeed have a beer or four for our friends north of the border after I returned from the Willow Metropark Fireworks. I still have plenty of beer left actually, if anyone is interested in taking Canada Day deep into Sunday as well.

Had a great time on PEI on Canada Day about ten years ago, and then we raised hell on July 4, with Canadians standing with us strong all day.  I'm sorry I puked on that golf course, Canada.
