Canada day! Canada deh!


 Happy Canada Day! Yeah... extra sweet to be on a sunny Monday morning! Today is supposed to be a gorgeous day so I'm going to take in some of the local festivities. I bought myself a hideous shirt for the day, it looks like Canada day threw up on me, hahaha!


 Just to educate you a little on Canada, here are some fun facts about Canada.

1) Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world's lakes combined.

2) Canada consumes more macaroni and cheese than any other country.

3) Residents of Churchill Canada, leave their car doors unlocked as an escape route for people from attacking polar bears.

4) Canada has the longest coastline.

5) Canada is the most educated country, over half of Canadians have a college degree.

6) Prostitution is legal in Canada but buying the services of a prostitute is illegal.

7) The Canadian province of Quebec produces most of the world's maple syrup, up to 77%.

8) Marijuana is a legal substance in Canada now but has some restrictions similar to alcohol.

9) Hockey is probably the most popular sport in Canada but it's actually not our national sport, lacrosse is; however most Canadians probably don't know that either.

10) This one is for LGBTQ community, the westboro baptist church and its members are banned from entering Canada!

 Happy Canada day to any other canucks reading this and to the others, come for a visit why don't ya... eh?

Visited last year. Hamilton and Niagara. A very welcoming, beautiful country, Steven.
Our grandfather is buried in Hamilton. He fought for the Canadian army in ww1.
He loved Canada, apparently. I have a wallet of his with an indigenous person on it.

Very interesting facts. I especially like leaving car doors open to escape polar bears!
Happy Canada day!

Ok.....I'm trying to firgrue out how #6 makes sense?!?!?!?!?!?

I bet you will look nice in that shirt. I like it actually. Did you get matching underwear?

Happy Canada Day! That shirt looks like it was near a murder. I didn't know about the Westboro church members being banned. That's awesome. Wish the US could do the same with people like them too.

Happy Canada Day to you. My favorite country! I have been to Ontario, Québec, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. You have a beautiful country with wonderful people.
PS: I like the shirt too!

That shirt suits your fashion sense very well.

Now I want mac and cheese. Thanks for nothing, Canada.

Jimmy said...

It looks like a Spo shirt. People can be OUT in Canada, too.

Happy Canada day! *smooches*

I think the shirt is fun!
I did not know about prostitution. Really? That sounds totally contradictory.
And I’ve thought about moving to Canada. But I’m too fucking tropical and I’d have to live in a greenhouse.

Number six is a great law actually, the prostitutes don't get arrested for being someone down on their luck, (not illegal); however the guys (johns) who take advantage of their misfortune and try to hire them are committing a crime. That way they are the target, not some young homeless girl.
