And no one bothered to wish us a Bonne St-Jean as well? I think it's more fun.
Happy Canada Day.
Erm... Quebec celebrated its anniversary last year. 1608-2008. I was there to celebrate for a little bit.

The USA is just as old as Canada. There's more than just English history... but also French and Spanish. We have four settlements founded before Quebec City and Canada... just three...
