Weewho!!! How does one celebrate Canada Day? I'm hoping it involves chocolate ;) Happy Canuck Day > > May all the cats and catslaves of Canada have a very enjoyable > > holiday! > > Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha > > Thanks very much, both of you, from furrballs Martha Emily and Sophie, > and the human Canuck catslaves in Toronto. > Weewho!!!

If chocolate does it for you, I guess it involves chocolate... :) Happy Canada Day from me too, a former (1984-88) employee of the Canadian Embassy in Helsinki.

The official celebrations are the televised from Parliament Hill in front of the House of Commons in Ottawa - our entertainers, officials etc. have their turns. Canadians have the day off and celebrate their first warm-weather holiday after a tough winter at the beach, in the parks, watching fireworks at night and so on. Surprisingly there was a garbage collection in our district this morning, but it's a safe bet the collectors made big holiday pay for it. Our kitties take it in stride - unless the neighbours set off fireworks. If so they scramble for their basement "bomb shelter" - the furnace room. > > Weewho!!! How does one celebrate Canada Day?

Yep, pretty much like the American celebrations I guess, except for the Maple Syrup and Hockey Pucks. :) /rant on Never been a fan of the government celebrations. I think we should be secure enough not to have the thought police ramming "Canadian Culture" down our throats. I for one, won't miss Sheila. Go figure the TO politicians springing for garbage pickup on a Holiday. Glad I live in Hazelville, where it was contracted out long ago. /rant off Cali actually enjoys the Fireworks, but then she likes Thunder Storms too. Tigger -- Whose not happy with the election results and promises not to mention politics here again. To all our Canadian friends, HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!

I'm close to where they shoot them off, but now I might not even be here. I can't stay away all night without someone stopping by (Shadow, meds) so I might be here, but it'll be close. Going to spend the day either Sat. or Sun. south of here at some friends' house boating and crabbing. :) SignatureCheryl "Jeanne Hedge" <jhedge@rcn.com> wrote > May all the cats and catslaves of Canada have a very enjoyable > holiday! Happy Canada day from Finland.

Peepers and Smudge here in Toronto are busily sleeping through the day but they will be back in time for Supper. As for me, it means I don't have to fight Smudge to see the screen and I am not being distracted by Peepers rubbing my leg(s) or meowing and then going into his pet/play/whatever (could be called I want) pose. Not sure if there are any fireworks at the major parks around the city since we usually do that kind of thing in May. Larry Osborne Yes, happy holiday!

We did nothing for Canada Day yesterday but we're going to a big 4th of July BBQ in Bangkok on Saturday. Same as last year.

That must be weird - you're living in a foreign country, celebrating a holiday that is neither theirs nor yours! :) Joyce > > I'm such a terrible Canadian.

Lots of people from Houston who work in the oil industry around here. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

Best wishes, SignaturePolonca & Soncek > May all the cats and catslaves of Canada have a very enjoyable > holiday! > > Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha > > http://www.jhedge.com Thanks, all, for the wishes. The weather was good here in the Okanagan. DH actually went to work because everyone there agreed to take Friday off instead and make it a long weekend. But then we had a nice relaxing evening -- scrubbed off the BBQ after the winter and fired that up again, then hung around the yard reading and whatnot. The cats were a bit peeved about the fireworks. I think some of them were local in our neighbourhood, not just the big ones down at the lake. Our friends usually wear Canada flag and maple leaf tattoos -- there are lots of flags flying from cars -- people wear any T-shirt that seems vaguely Canadian (Roots stuff qualifies). It was a good day all 'round. And, yeah, Tigger, we needed a good hot Canada Day to wash away the dregs of the election. Regardless of what party you voted for, at least we can say it's over (for now). It would have been far far worse to have campaigning on the holiday - that would have really spoiled things.
