Although my father's family is of Prince Edward Island Acadian and Quebecois descent and I probably know more Canadian history than your average Yank (just get me started on Sir Wilfrid Laurier or Pierre Trudeau!), I am a native of Southern California.<br /><br />Had a very quiet Fourth -- didn't even go out to see fireworks :-( But I am happy that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are coming to Los Angeles this week.

I know Canada is only the second largest country in the world, and we're very self effacing and much too polite to blow our own trumpet, and the rest of the world tends to ignore us, (unless we have a riot, which is very un Canadian, I might add), but really it does hurt sometimes that our neighbours to the south get all the attention, and they're not even part of the Commonwealth, and the Queen is not their head of state. But there's really no excuse, didn't you see the big celebration in Trafalgar Square? Next year try it out, our Tim Hortons were there and they make a good cup of coffee and a mean donut. signed: Faithful Canuck blog reader.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01198856128213307540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-69176734233099059852011-07-05T03:03:08.794+01:002011-07-05T03:03:08.794+01:00Thank you, Mac!

It's been a quiet 4th here in my part of the country, but fireworks can be seen for miles around from the back porch of the farmhouse. :)SoaringSopranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01881553908501628016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-22358956076972529502011-07-05T02:39:57.087+01:002011-07-05T02:39:57.087+01:00Thanks, Mac!

This particular transatlantic regular reader and kitten fan lives in Canada and is descended, in part, from the United Empire Loyalists--English colonials who remained loyal to Britain and were driven out by the rebels. My 3rd great-grandfather fought for the British during that war and like many, came to Canada afterwards. And we've been here ever since.Stitchworthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05387323354607079249noreply@blogger.com
