THE REAL One Little Two Little Three Canadians ...

[Isabella Thorne]

well ... here it is mes amis ....

the kick off to the Canada Day long weekend ... this Monday, July 1st Canada celebrates the 135th birthday of our country, our true North strong and free <dammit i am getting so sappy, eh? lol>

- and also the beginning of my two week vacation .....

oh i deserve this life ... the life of Riley i call it ... decadent nothingness ... pas de responsibilities ... oh i could get used to this ...

but i digress ....

i would like to reflect with fellow lit <and you can take that any way you choose ... ha ha ha> Canadians on all things Canadian ....

and to reflect with fellow lit <see above lmao> non-Canadian friends on all things Canadian ...

and even if you don't want to talk about anything Canadian ... well that's ok too, mes amis!

we must seem like a very young country to our european friends and even to our american friends ...

and just how old is australia anyways, mates?

because i was thinking that this Canada is extra special to all of us - because it is the first since September 11th changed our world forever ...

sorry a wee bit sappy again, eh? ... lmao ... no seriously ...

hey .... have you ever heard this song about Canada when we turned 100 in 1967 - Canada's Centennial ...

it is sooooooooo cute ... you have to hear it sung too because the lyrics alone do not do it justice ...

well i just did a lengthy search on the net to find the damn lyrics and i can't find dem dare ... i discovered it was written by Bobby Gimby ...

it goes something like ...

C-A-N-A-D-A
we love thee
now we are 20 million
C-A-N-A-D-A
one little two little three Canadians ...

something something something ..

Vive le Canada
three cheers
hip hip hoorah
Le Centenniare
that's the order of the day!

[LukkyKnight]

[Isabella Thorne]

Women Only

eh, Sir Lukky? quoi cheri? croissants? hee hee .... i'm not really drinking anything at the moment, darling ... what would you suggest?

ohhhhh i must tell you something else about Canada .... crime stopping is so advanced here .... check it out, eh?

With the high rate of attacks on women in secluded parking
lots, especially during evening hours, the Toronto City Council
has established a "Women Only" parking lot at a Sears shopping
centre.

Even the parking lot attendants are exclusively female so that
a comfortable and safe environment is created for patrons.

Below is the first picture available of this world-first women-only
parking lot in Canada.

I love that site... it's the best. I especially love the feedback section, as there are some really stupid people out there that take the site seriously and leave nasty messages about how "We Americans will kick your ass! Canada's military couldn't take over Guam!" lol

Oh, Canada.....

I love thee.
You keep me free,
You keep me safe,
You keep me me.

Through all turmoil,
Through all the stress,
I am proud of Canada,
We do our best,

I am Canadian,
Not beer, but man,
And am proud to be,
A member of the clan,

Canuckleheads, Hockey Players,
Peacekeepers, Voyageurs,
Strong, proud Canadians,
French, Cree, English, Merde!

CANADIAN! That's what we are,
Multiculturally strong,
And eventually, someday,
Keep going on.

Signed,

A proud, honest, relatively humble,

Nathon

Charles is in Charge

<handing ice cold Molsons all round except of course for handing a cold Blue to cold Purple>

hey Nathon ... you are such a dark Canadian ... well really darling ... you almost look like that Hannibal Lecter guy, eh? ... lmao ... but Hannibal was not what i would call humble ...

and that's right too, eh, Barely? Queen Liz just celebrated her 50th year as Queen ...

unfortunately i had to decline her invitation to the anniversary bash at Buckingham Palace cause i didn't want to have to see Charles again ... honestly that man never leaves me alone ... he is a downright pest ... and his ears just give me the willies ....

soooooo .... anyone have any big Canada Day plans?

 

[Carl East]

As a matter of fact I do my little minx, I intend to fly to Canada later this year just to meet a very special Canadian. She's a Lit member, and I intend to introduce her to mine.

Kidding aside, I'm so looking forward to meeting this lady, she is very special to me.

Carl

 

[Isabella Thorne]

I raise my glass of Molsons high to honour you both!

____________________________
Joe Canuck knew all the people in the world. At least he always said so to his co-workers. He liked to boast. One day, Joe said, "I know the Prime Minister."

Of course, his friends didn't believe him. The Prime Minister lived in Ottawa, and Joe lived in Vancouver.

"Nah... you're kidding!" his friends said.

"No, I'm not! I can prove it! He said I could call him, if you want! Joe said.

Believe it or not, Joe actually did call the Prime Minister, and Jean and Joe talked for hours! He even chatted for a while with Aline Chretien, too! No doubt they knew each other. His co-workers were stunned.

The next day, Joe said to the others, "I know the American President.

"What?" his colleagues said. "Don't tell lies, of course
you don't know President Bush! We can understand that you know the Prime Minister, but the U.S. President, no way!"

"Oh, I can prove it," Joe said. "The President is coming here
next month. He's going to drive through the Vancouver, and
hold a speech. I'll be there and change a few words with
him after the speech!"

Next month, after the President's speech, Joe went forward,
said something to the security guards, and walked toward the President. "Hello George, nice to see ya!" he said.

"Joe, long time no see," the President said, and they shook
hands. They talked for a while, but then the President had to
go, so Joe went back to his friends.

"Well?" he said, and smiled self-confidently. His friends
were stunned once again.

After this incident, Joe was even worse. He boasted more
than ever. One day he said to his friends, "I know the
pope!"

They didn't believe him, but he continued saying this all
day, until his friends were extremely tired of hearing
him. Suddenly one of them got an idea.

"Guys!" he said. "I've got an idea! Why don't we offer
Joe a trip to Italy, to visit the pope. One of us will go
with him. If Joe can prove that he knows the pope, we'll
pay the trip; if not, he has to pay it!"

"Yeah, great idea!" the others agreed.

Joe agreed to the Italy trip, and a couple of days later
they left . They arrived in Rome, to the Vatican, and
went to see the pope. It was really crowded, and they could
see the pope high up on a balcony. He waved to the people.
Joe went away, and after a while his friend saw him next
to the pope, on the balcony. When Joe said hello to the
pope, something happened. His friend passed out!

"I'm so sorry Johannes Paulus... I have to go now!" he said,
and hurried away to his friend.

When he got there, his friend was waiting. "Why did you pass
out?" Joe asked. "Is it so strange that I know the pope?"

"No, it wasn't that," the friend answered. "You see, when
you talked to the pope, a sheik beside me said, 'Who is that
waving man next to Joe Canuck?'"

Entre Amis / Between Friends

No one should think it strange that Americans should involve themselves in the observance of a Canadian anniversary. Over hundreds of years we have worked and played together, laughed and mourned together, fought side by side against common enemies.

Our two peoples have helped each other repair the havoc of natural disasters, inspired and applauded each other, opened our hearts and our homes to each other as valued and welcome freinds.

Let no one seek to devalue the achievements of our friendship by glossing over its occasional difficulties.

<raising my mug of Molsons on this Canada Day in honour of our American neighbours>

 

[LukkyKnight]

Well, yeah, but there's more than that... there's also those cool avs you guys always have, too. Whiskey... you make some REALLY goo whiskey up there. And where would we be without hockey, eh?

The people in Florida might find something else to do all winter, but here in MN we'd all perish with nothing to do with the ice but go fishing...

United We Stand

Happy Independence Day to all my American friends!

<holding high my mug of Bud Light in your honor> Party on!

It's Independence Day
All down the line
