There's now also a 'Happy Canada Day' banner on the glocals home page...
I lived 5 years in Canada as a teen, in Toronto. Loved the place.

Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader....
I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled....
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I'm certain they're really really nice.
I have a Prime Minister, not a president.
I speak English and French, not American.
And I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'.
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, not policing,
diversity, not assimilation,
and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch,
and it is pronounced 'zed' not 'zee', 'zed' !!!!
Canada is the second largest landmass!
The first nation of hockey!
and the best part of North America
My name is Joe!!
And I am Canadian!!!

Just realised that I can't tell who will celebrate our national day in England as we are all lumped together as United Kingdom on our profiles .. England is the 23rd April, Scotland 30th November, Wales 1st March and as every else knows 17th March Ireland.
Today is also the national day for Burundi, British Virgin Islands and for the 6 Glocal members from Rwanda.

I think most countries have a national day , just some tend to celebrate it more than others (who could miss the other national day at the end of the week!!) and the national can be either date of independance or when it was originally formed and even a Saint's day like in the UK , strange considering what heathens we are..
Israels is the 14th May
