It's Canada 150, Baby!

Happy Canada Day! Today marks the 150th anniversary of Confederation and Canada's 150th birthday!

This is one year when I know I can't stay home. As it's me, I'll be engaged in suitably nerdy activities. I'll be attending a lecture on Toronto history at 11:00 at St. Lawrence Hall and then I'll be going on Muddy York's two-hour Canada 150 history walk at 1:00. We'll end up at Nathan Phillips Square, so maybe I'll take in some of the festivities there, though I'm not really into crowds or partying. A huge shock, I know.

If I manage to snap any interesting pics, I'll post them here. In the mean time, here's an absurdly Canadian vid that celebrates Canada's 150:

Have a great Canada(150)Day; and Yays for any pics!

(and don't eat too much poutine, unless it's served with lobster!)

Thank you very much, grondfic! It's definitely been a great Canada Day! :-) I took a number of pics, so I'll definitely share some of them here.

No poutine, I'm afraid. The closest I got to poutine was a ham and cheese melt at Second Cup. Dinner is frozen pizza, so that's more cheese if not cheese curds. *g* I went out to lunch on Monday with my brother and had one fry from his poutine, so at least I had a taste of poutine in the week leading up to Canada Day. ;-)
