I didn't think Canada was significant enough to have its own day.

There is Dominion day coming up though. You should drink maple flavoured beer, in a beaver fur-lined mug to really get in the spirit of it. In la belle province they prefer to drink brandy out of lady-slippers (the cheap fleur de lys) and celebrate on Bastille de Baptiste week.

People out wandering around thinking about this collection of provinces should be reminded that fishermen from Bristol found Canada in the late 1400's or probably about 1505, and Newfoundland was the first permanent colony or perennially visited outpost in this region. This makes Portugese amongst the first Canadian languages.

The Danes have some claim amongst the Europeans to be the first to sell condominiums on the Canada coast.
