Cocaine Princess here.
School is officially out today and that means one thing--- The Long Weekend is upon us, at least it is up here for us.
It's Canada's Day Long Weekend-- a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act, 1867.
Yes, my loyal readers this great country I live in turns 147 this up~coming Tuesday.
For reasons unknown to me, Canada is one of those countries that often gets made fun of and let's not forget about the endless stereotypes, such as......
And this....
And the most popular stereotype:
There's no way I could post a Canada Day entry without mentioning Rob Ford, after~ all he's the one person who destroyed every single Canadian stereotype. Job well done!
Jokes aside, Canada is a pretty awesome country. Our milk comes in bags, our money is colorful, we have a Tim Horton's on practically every corner and yesterday a mass wedding took place at Toronto's Casa Loma that attracted as many as 120 couples from around the world. (In July 2005 Canada became the fourth country in the world, and the first country outside Europe, to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide) Congratulations and much love and luck to you all.

I realize this is un-related to this post but I had to mention the World Cup. Joining Spain and England is now Italy who were recently eliminated from the Cup after losing to Uruguay 0~1.

My loyal and dear readers, it's finally Friday.
Whatever your plans are have a fantastic last week of June. ~x
XOXOXOXO,

Hey, I'd be glad if all the stereotypes were about how friendly we are. You could be like America where the stereotypes are quite harsh. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Australians are seen as cool, but a bit racist.

In regards to Australians being racist-- I've never heard that stereotype before.
Do you watch South Park, Miss Princess? I don't think there's a TV show that has mocked Canadians as much as that one. It's where I found out about Canadians saying "aboot"! Check out this clip:

Ha! Thx for that.
Actually, I wish America was more like Canada. I believe that most Americans think the same way. (except for part about Rob Ford)
