On this day in 1867, Canada officially became its own country.
Well, sort of. Ish. More of a 'dominion' status. But that's been greatly reduced to today's status of Canada as the, well, mostly-independant-but-without-the-guns-girls-or-gore-while-still-worshipping-the-Queen nation we know today.
Nation? Or nations? Canada's really the melting pot of North America, a whole whack of cultures crushed into 3 or 4 cities with a whole mass of white in between (rather like a Jackson Pollock piece). The Easteners hate Ontario, Quebec hates the English, the English hate Quebec, the West hates Ontario, Ontario hates nobody, everybody hates Toronto and nobody really pays attention to the natives anymore beyond some treaties and monies. Crime's rising, the country's dividing, sects are uniting and sex is declining in the diehard form of a lower birth rate continuously.
Um.
Scratch that.
Celebrate anyway! It's better now than then! Wooo!
Happy 140th birthday, my home and native land
