We're 9 years from 250. If we're still a country, it will be a blowout!

Posted: Thu Jul 06, 2017 5:05 pmHappy belated Canada Day!
I confess I skipped the festivities, instead heading to NH to spend a nice long weekend with my family. But I got a picture of the giant rubber duck in Toronto harbor as I was flying out, which we all know is what really matters.
The funny thing about the holiday is my dad and uncle, who lived in Canada at the time and had no idea they'd both ultimately become US citizens and live there for decades, were really shocked to hear that it was Canada 150 as they remembered the 100th anniversary so well. Both were living in Montreal at the time, and remember visiting the expo and what a big deal that was- I guess a thing like that is no longer a thing, but it was huge at the time!
On a final note, as my studies in Canada have now been extended to the end of the year I got my student permit yesterday at the border! Basically I didn't need one for under six months, but over six months you do, and in Canada if you're American you can just rock up at the border and get one. So hey, it's definitely my Canada year!

Posted: Fri Jul 07, 2017 8:37 pmIIRC, July 1, 1867 , under the British North America Act, Upper and Lower Canada (Ontario and Quebec), Nova Scotia and New Brunswick became the Dominion of Canada. Other provinces joined the confederation at later dates.
Rommie: I went to Expo '86 in Vancouver, too young at the time of Expo '67, celebrating the centennial. I do remember the "Ca-na-da" song and Ontario's "Place to live, place to stand" song, from '67. Visited Montreal in 1980, during that weekend the group visiting we stopped at: Mount Royal/St. Joseph's Oratory, Biosphere, Olympic stadium (a yellow seat, amongst the blue in the outfield seats, marked the longest homer hit, it was by the Pirates' Willie Stargell, IIRC. ) and the La Ronde amusement park.
Thumper: Yeah, I played some Rush. Other canuck music included: Blue Peter, Blue Rodeo, National Velvet, BTO, The Guess Who, The Band, Tom Cochrane/Red Ryder, Max Webster/Kim Mitchell, Bryan Adams, Lisa Dalbello, B.B. Gabor, The Demics, Toby Swann, Gowan, The Spoons, Powder Blues Band, April Wine, Downchild Blues Band, Headpins, Chilliwack, Crowbar, Gordon Lightfoot, Stompin' Tom, Images In Vogue, Strange Advance, Saga ...

I had to google Robin Sparkles (I didn't watch HIMYM) so no
, no Beiber. There was some Rough Trade, Rational Youth, Oscar Peterson, Neil Young, Alannah Myles, Alanis Morrisette, Shania Twain, David Wilcox and some others. Men Without Hats, Moral Support, The Box and some others, I only have on lp but my turntable died.Re: 150 eh
