Happy (hot) Canada Day!

There are probably a billion jokes about Canada floating around the web today. Everyone knows how to use Google so I’m not linking to any of them. If you use Bing I’m still not linking to them but I salute your rebellious, free-spirited nature.

For the record, this Canada Day falls midweek, which makes it kind of sucky when it comes to planning holiday activities. I’m sure there’s a petition online for recognizing the official day of confederation while moving the actual day off to the first Monday of the month, making for a nice three day weekend.

I like three day weekends and I like Canada, so I would support such an initiative.

In the meantime it continues to be hot with more hot in the forecast. With the temperature currently hovering around 30ºC the jokes about us living in igloos on vast plains of permafrost may die out in another century or two.
