This Canada Day......perhaps.

Canada Day fireworks over the
parliament buildings

July 1^st is Canada Day and Canadians everywhere will celebrate it in fine style. Some will have already headed to the cottage to spend time with family and friends; others will be attending Canada Day celebrations that will be held in every city, village and dell across the country.

There will be bands, stage shows and crowds; barbeques, parties and fireworks. The Prime Minister and every politician in the country will show up somewhere to be seen, to be photographed and to be ignored by most people. The mayor of our city, who will go to the opening of an envelope if you invite him, will somehow manage to show up at dozens of events.
