Well, the Fourth of July is just a few days away, and all good citizens of the nation we call America must naturally be thinking of the birth of this great land. Not content to be just great, our founding fathers wanted independence as well, and that value is still held dear today. Indeed, one might argue that there are few areas of society today in which that’s more true than the open source community. After all, what is Linux if not a technology that enables independence — from Microsoft or any other proprietary technological world?

Linuxy Declarations of Independence

Canada Day formerly Dominion Day, is Canada’s national day, a federal statutory holiday, celebrated on July 1 annually by all Canadians. Canada Day observances take place not only throughout the nation, but also internationally.

Frequently referred to as “Canada’s birthday”, particularly in the popular press,[1][2][3] the occasion marks the joining of the British colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada into a federation of four provinces (the Province of Canada being divided, in the process, into Ontario and Quebec) on July 1, 1867.

I guess while hanging around up north I really learned something. Ha and they say it is imposssible to teach a old dog new tricks. Any way Happy Birthday Canada
