Thanks to Tom for making me think to check out someecards for this auspicious occasion.

This drives me nuts, and I came across it again today. Someone (coughAmericancough) online will mention Canada Day. Another someone (hackAmericanhack) will not know what CD is. First Someone says something along the lines of "it's like our 4th". Ummm, hello. It's called a birthday. July 4th is the US's birthday. July 1st is Canada's birthday. Of course, I've also heard the following, when a someone uses the words "Canada's birthday": "Canada has a birthday"? And then follows it with "like our 4th"? GAH! Don't get me started on the someones who don't know we have Easter and Christmas, too.

On Canada Day, best of luck in not being mistaken for an American

Heh!

Although technically the 4th of July isn't our "birthday," it's the day we celebrate throwing off the chains of oppression and declaring our independence from the vile monarchy! Rawr!

I sent that second card to my Canadian friends. I hope they appreciate it! :-)

Next you're gonna tell me you have New Year's Eve too.

My fav of the someecards was about "to celebrate I was going to eat the National Food of Canada, till I realized there isn't one".
