HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Wishing all my fellow Canadians a really happy and SAFE Canada Day Remember COVID restrictions and also take great care on the roads if you are going to be driving! How lucky we all are to live in a country that provides us with amazing freedom to do what we want to do and to be who we hope to be. Something to be remembered and thankful for, each and every day! A special wish and thank-you for all those Canadians who are serving our country, especially overseas! Now, if only the winters weren't so cold : ) This Canada Day, I might add if only some days in summer weren't this unbearably hot!

One can't celebrate Canada Day without remembering the many Indigenous people and their long-time suffering. Though we have known about the many residential schools across the country and the mistreatment of their students who were removed from their families, the recent discoveries of unmarked graves of hundreds of children, with many more to yet be discovered, has really brought this issue to light. At long, long last, something is being done about this whole issue and these lost souls can be given the dignity that they so greatly deserve.

Heat Warning: issued at 21:21 Sunday 27 June 2021. Ongoing,
A prolonged, dangerous, and historic heat wave will persist through this week. Afternoon high temperatures will climb to the mid 30's tomorrow, and will peak near 40 degrees Celsius in some regions by midweek. The heat wave will continue into early next week. Little to no reprieve from the heat is expected, as overnight lows will remain between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius." From the Weather Network. Yesterday, 30 June 2021, when I climbed into my car to go for a desperately needed drive so that I could be in air-conditioning for a few hours, my car registered an outside temperature of 42C, then dropped to 38C and eventually to 35/36C for most of the drive.

"Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada) is the national day of Canada, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act, 1867 (today called the Constitution Act, 1867), which united three colonies into a single country called Canada within the British Empire. Originally called Dominion Day (French: Le Jour de la Confédération), the holiday was renamed in 1982, the year the Canada Act was passed. Canada Day observances take place throughout Canada as well as among Canadians internationally." From Wikipedia.
