From Sea to Sea

July 1st is Canada Day, formerly known as Dominion Day, and is a glorious civic holiday where everything shuts down and plentiful pints of beer is had by people everywhere.

I am cheating here, I took the day off along with everyone else and have tinkered with the date of this post in order to keep the chronological flow going. Which means, I'm falling behind. And am trying to think of my next post for what is actually today, not the day it says it is, while I post this post.

So lemme think while I post...

Canada turned 141....though who are we kidding, the land itself is as old as all the other land on this earth - but narrow-minded pettiness must be humoured.

Canada is the second largest country in the world—after Russia—and largest on the continent. [by total area including its waters, and by land area - it is fourth].

Canada has the longest coastline in the world: 243,000 kilometres.

Canada's mainland is ringed with a huge archipelago with some of the world's largest islands.

Canada by far has more lakes than any other country and possesses a large amount of the world's freshwater.

Canada's population density is 3.5 people per square kilometre (9.1/ sq mi), and is lowest in the world.

Canada's 2006's records showed a total population of 31,612,897 million. [an increase of 5.4% since 2001 due to an increase in immigration]

But it's damn hot at the height of our Canadian summers and damn cold in the depths of our Canadian winters.
