Happy Canada Day From The Canadian Embassy In Washington DC
Canadians and their fans celebrated a great Canada Day (Fête Du Canada) at the Washington, DC embassy, July 1, 2009. Canada Day is America’s Fourth of July equivalent.
I enjoyed the barbeque, air puppets, kiddie tattoos, and a photo op with the RCMP (aka the “Mounties”).
God bless Canada… but please don’t bring their healthcare system here. 
If you’re a Canadian (or someone who loves ‘em) check out the Canada Day party finder here.
Addendum: just added a bonus photo taken with a Blackberry - me horsing around.
Val, were you flirting with those Canadian Mounties? I'm moving to Canada if they all look like that
It appears that I was more interested in the horse.

Whenever I proudly announce I am 1/2 Canadian everybody hoots saying that's impossible because Canadians are quasi-Americans! Not true, eh. I go back to Toronto and the Muskoka lakes as often as possible and always feel a comfortable homey feeling. People who know me well attribute my serious and mannerly behavior to having been brought up by a Canadian mother and grandmother. I think that up-bringing was outstanding! Happy Canada Day and bring back Macintosh's toffee.
