Canada Day

The office is empty today.  Something about "Canada Day."  Seems in Canada they celebrate the 4th of July on the 1st.  Figured with the Loonie being at more or less parity with the dollar, we'd be synchronized.  Maybe July is a metric month in Canada?  At least it's quiet here in the office.  And if Canada day is their Independence Day, how come the Queens face is on the coins in my pocket?  NYC in 2 weeks!

  1. You Americans! You can't just morph a USA-paradigm onto other countries like that Jonathan dear! In fact, the other colonies became independent from England peacefully, making for very different national psyches in Canada and Australia and such, c.f. USA.

    Love from us all here,
