Canada Day
Posted by Nick Milne on July 1, 2009
Today is a national holiday, so I’m taking the day off. I get to do that most days, honestly, but I’m doing it with real vigour today.
Don’t party too hard, my fellow Canadians; don’t be like the people down the hall from me, who have already, at 5PM, passed through the stages of conviviality and drunkenness to the point where they’re all just abusive and angry with each other. Don’t storm around bellowing in a hodge-podge of English and French, the only clearly discernable words in either language being expletives. Do other things.

Hang in there mate.
Strap on your iPod (with ear buds), and consider Michael Jackson’s Man in the Mirror.

Happy belated Canada day, from one Canadian to another.
I love how relatively low-key our celebrations are; no readings from the memoirs of Laurier,Cartier or MacDonald, just beer and fireworks.
