Canada Day

Tomorrow, July 1, is the 140th anniversary of Canada, the country. So to all you folks up North, Happy Happy Canada Day. According to the official web site about Canada Day:

Canada Day is celebrated in grand style in the nation's capital. Every year, tens of thousands of people flock to Parliament Hill to take part in the noon show with the Prime Minister, the Governor General and the Minister of Canadian Heritage.

This year, Canada will be celebrating its 140th birthday. Join us for this exciting street party!

Canadian artists from across the country will participate in this year's noon show; they include rising stars Eva Avila, Nikki Yanofsky and Delhi 2 Dublin, Juno Award winner Tomi Swick, multi-talented Gregory Charles, the well known contemporary throat singer, Tanya Tagaq, and the harmony-driven pop music group, Shaye, along with three time Canadian Country music award winner Corb Lund and the spectacular young circus artists from the National Circus School.

As in previous years, the Provincial and Territorial finalists of the Canada Day Poster Challenge will also join the party.

The Canada Day Noon Show will be broadcast live across the country on CBC / Radio-Canada television, NewsWorld and le Réseau de l'information (RDI). For a second year, viewers from around the world will be able to tune in to the noon show by accessing the Webcast that will be available on Canadian Heritage’s Web site, as well as on the sites of the National Capital Commission and CBC/Radio-Canada.The Noon Show will also be broadcast on TV5 the week of July 2.

This sounds like a fun party to me, and one that will bring out the masses to celebrate the birthday of their nation. So congratulations, Canadians.
