In honor of Canada Day, I post this link
And you can have a look at the original Molson Canadian Commercial here.
Just a little history for all you Yanks out there.
Canada Day marks the unification of four British colonies on July 1, 1867. A single piece of legislation, known as the British North America (BNA) Act, joined the present-day provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia together as one nation.
The BNA Act proclaimed "one Dominion under the name of Canada," which is why the original name of our national holiday was called "Dominion Day."
Since confederation, six more provinces and three territories were joined under the Act. In 1982, the Act was amended to include the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and to augment Canada's status from a simple 'dominion' of the British realm to that of a fully autonomous nation within its own right.
The Act was then renamed the Constitution Act, and Dominion Day was renamed Canada Day.
The first Dominion/Canada Day was celebrated publicly at Queen's Park in Toronto on July 1, 1875. Canada Day is always observed on July 1, unless that date falls on a Sunday, in which case it is observed the following day.
I will be working at the Undisclosed Customer Service Center�. The good news is, its double time and a half. WOO HOO!
Happy Canada Day!
