| So today, marks yet another year gone by for our nice great big country of the somewhat north AKA:! Canada ! There'll be fireworks and there was a parade - though a sad one at that, in my city (it rained!) and it's a good day to break out the red and white clothing for a party   |

| I know Canada is an independent nation but doesn't it still have Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state?
I believe Canada's official independance from England was relative recent (like within the last 50 years) wasn't it?
At anyrate happy birthday Canada, my very close neighbor to the north.

lol well the math is a little off, it was 1867 but close enough  . And the political stuff is complicated really, because technically I believe we are under the govern of the Queen, but the crown doesn't really affect any aspect of politics or government (to my knowledge at least). |

I think you could pretty much say the same of Great Britain. Or am I mistaken again? (Fundy?)

| Yes, the Queen doesn't do alot and doesn't have too much power now-a-days. Things change. I can see a time when there'll be no Royal family. I do like having a Royal family, but I am in no means a royalist as I would be fine either way.
