Last night we took the girls to see the fireworks for the first time. We watched from across the harbour and this made for a calmer gentler experience.
Earlier in the day, we went to a local Canada Day Fete with horses and kites and fire trucks. It was okay. I think it was our hottest day so far (27 degrees?).
In honour of Canada's 141st birthday, here are three of my favourite songs about Canada.
3.) (Salute to) The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen by Ren and Stimpy. Someone a lot smarter than me will have to explain what it means when your best friend (the U.S.) thinks of you like this.
Listen here.
2.) Rocks and Trees by the Arrogant Worms. Yep, rocks and trees... Even here we have lots of rocks.
Listen here.
1.) Northwest Passage by the late, very great Stan Rogers. We are many things but we will always be a Northern People. This song still sends shivers up and down my spine.
Listen here.
Happy (Belated) Canada Day One and All,
B.
great! fantastique!
