Happy Canada Day

Hey all Canadians,

Grab a beer, sit and relax because today is CANADA DAY. It's party time.

I'll be drinking a Molson Canadian and celebrating the day here in Basel. You can actually buy Molson Canadian through the beer import store here.

Re: Happy Canada Day

Hi Baselboy,

Enjoy yours Canadian beer. I'm celebrating a "thank god we finally got some decent weather" day today, but I'll spare a thought for all you Canadians....

Re: Happy Canada Day

Re: Happy Canada Day

Canada Day is July 1st.

Independence Day is July 4th.

Unlike our American counterparts, we learn about our neighbor.

That's because they teach us that Canada is the 51st state!
