How old is our honorable neighbor to the North, officially?
Happy Anniversary, Canada... may you remain as a single, strong, united country despite the efforts of some (who don't appreciate the English language as much as they should) within your own borders!

Okay, to answer several Q-tions....
GenghisK: Its sort of an "independence" day, but not because we beat down the English, but because it was the day they forfited official control over their "Canadian" colonies and left us with self governance. A few of the colonies, I mean. Not BC, Manitoba, Ruperts land, or the Newfies.
Starlifter: We're 134, if my math is right. Confederation was 1867.
And A of A, the Whinemore is obviously an illegal migrant or something, because nobody that weird is permitted up here!
We send them down to the states eventually...

Canada. Is Canada day seen as a day of patriotic celebration or just another public holiday?

Here is some interesting facts about Newfoundland:
1) In roughly 1855 Newfoundland became it's own country...independent of Britian, and with it's own Resposible Government.
2) In 1934, Newfoundland gave up it's self-rule, due to huge debt and became a British colony again.
3) In 1949, Newfoundland joined the Dominion of Canada and became the Country's 10th province.
Most historians would agree with me that I've OVER simplified Newfoundlands history....but this is basically what happened. If you would like to see most info visit: http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Rapids/3330/constitution/

Re the public holiday - patriotic celebration question.
Canada Day is a day of patriotic celebration for many, but not all, Canadians. However, we generally tend to be more subdued in our expression of patriotism than our southern neighbors. The one excpetion would be when one of our hockey teams is playing Russia or the USA in world competition. Then we tend to get quite expressive of our national pride.
