Brocky Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Paul, Have a happy Aussie day!!!!! and thanks for the history lesson.. I would have said you folks were independent long before then?? Even pre WW 2???? I know Canada's day is July 1st, but I do NOT know what year???? I was on a pleasure boat in the St. Lawrence river in 1967 when Queen Elizabeth came up the river in her personal yacht (a refurbished mine sweeper??) on her way to Ottawa to celebrate the occasion.

As I remember Canada Day is the birthday of British queen Victoria. So since the year she was born? 1 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
