Bonne Fête Canada! Happy Canada Day!

July 1st is Canada's national holiday. Canadians celebrate their confederation, the British North America Act created in 1867.

Born and bred surrounded by people who struggle with Vergangenheitsbewältigung (coping with the nazi German past), I'm not used to patriotic celebrations. Canadians made me participate in their country's 142nd birthday. I was overwhelmed by the party!
