Did you mean to say "India was a bunch of independent states ..."?

I've added the following to the list based on information contained within this thread:

-The proper way to celebrate Canada Day.
-The meaning and intent of Canada Day.
-Whether war is a necessary component to a proper celebratory day in any country.

Who knew?

I understand that it celebrates the creation of a unified Canada under the British Empire. However, I was under the impression that the independence of Canada is something that was always rather murky and there are no firm dates for any independence.

That being said, the rest of my family is going to visit your fine country tomorrow, although I'm rather stuck at home. My wife and kid are visiting my BIL near Seattle, and they plan on crossing the border for a few days. My wife and kid have been there (with me) last year, but this is the first time my FIL/MIL will have visited Canada. Do the celebrations last? It's actually a year to the day that we visited last year, and we just missed the crowds for the WWC final.

I was just thinking that India gained independence without any particular war or declaration. I understand that's their most important day.

Of course Canada was assembled piecemeal. A former coworker of mine is from Newfoundland, which I understand was still British territory when Canada was more or less independent.

No. I was sincere. I do understand that it's an important holiday in Canada, but I go off with random banter. I wasn't sure how one addressed how to enjoy Canada Day. I thought maybe I'd make a "Merry New Year" mistake or something.

You're waaaay over-thinking it. Leave it alone and just enjoy the beer and Kraft Dinner. Belated Happy Canada Day everybody!

I'll tell my wife and kid just that. They're in BC right now while I'm stuck at home.

Happy belated Dominion Day to our neighbours up north. (I even put the "u" in neighbours in your honor).

Er...ah.....oh, yeah.....I intentionally omitted the u from honour to see if you would catch the error. Yeah, that's it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!

Happy Canada Day weekend. We had a picnic at Fort Rodd Hill in Victoria (National Historic site) with one of the biggest birthday cakes! It was the size of a picnic table and YUMMY! I hope you enjoyed your Canada Day!
