What exactly does July 4th represent to you....

Canada Day celebrates the day that Canada was incorporated as a country on July 1, 1867. It was previously a colony of Great Britain, made up of territories, with little formal structure.

That’s a good question. I always just assumed it celebrates becoming a separate country from Britain. Or perhaps just a day to celebrate, period. I will research it further.
But here’s something. We are truly multicultural in the territory. Besides having aboriginal stuff hammered on us constantly because it is currently politically correct, we have many immigrants here. Most of our friends are some other colour than white. In the parade was a huge contingent of Philippinos. They literally are the biggest supporters of our community. They contribute to every cause imaginable. Our closest friends are from Jamaica. Others are from Mexico. Our houseguest is from China. I bet they can answer your question, but I can’t. That’s a sobering thought.

Okay help me out here guys (becuase I'm not googling jacksquat)... what exactly does Canada Day represent?

Similar to July the forth.
It is our equivalent day to Independence Day.
It used to be called Dominion Day at one time. Hope this is clear enough. I have forgotten what year it was changed to Canada Day.

I have many aboriginal friends and coworkers. Some can banter and joke about things, some can’t.
One of the ones that can take it was teasing me about whitey coming and taking their land.
I replied that we didn’t take it, we traded. They gave us the land and we gave them tuberculosis and the flu.

Thanks. The guys educated me earlier, that it had to do with the British..I wasn't sure since the Frenchys also laid claim to quite a bit up there!

The British are probably the only Country that defeats another country and then gives the defeated citizens more benefits than the their own citizens.
My opinion!!

They also gave us tobacco in return, which causes cancer.

Really, which two would they be - 'cause if you mean St. Pierre and Miquelon you should probably open your geography book again! PEI would take offense at being considered "French" and Newfoundland would take offense at being considered "Nova Scotia" !
