Well … it’s July 1st once again and this is the day all us Canucks of the Great White North celebrate Canada Day (previous called Dominion Day) — the birthday of the founding of our great nation Canada!

Yes, I said ‘nation’ … no, we’re not the 51st state.

Now, I’ve been doing some thinking and it’s well known around the world that the United States of America celebrate their Independence Day on July 4th …

… so, here’s my idea —

I believe that our 2 great nations should join forces in our celebration efforts and, together, declare the dates July 1st – 4th (inclusive) as a new international federal holiday …

North America Independence-Dominion Week!

… and, as such, all 4 days should be a statutory holiday where we party all week and (taking inspiration from the Irish and their St. Patrick’s Day festivities) I think the whole week should be commemorated with Olympic style drinking games between our 2 fine nations! … oh, hell — let’s invite Mexico too (… those amigos make some damn good tequila!)

So … who’s with me?

Who shall throw back the first shot of Cuervo in an opening ceremony to bring our nations together in this fantastic new fun-fest? Rise up my fellow North Americans … take to the streets … it’s time to take the concept of Mardi Gras to a whole new level! Call out your politicians — demand this phenomenal new holiday be founded in your nation today … come together … party … drink … puke … wake up .. and, feeling like you’ve been hit by a truck, swear off alcohol forever and ever … or at least until next year.

It may take some pressure on each of our governments to enact my idea and pass it into legislation … so, in the meantime …

Party On CANADA! — YOU ROCK!
