Canada can get a birthday once it gets a real national anthem, tbh. "O Canada" ain't cutting the cake.

Speaking of anthems, France has a really badass one but the country is known for being kinda candy ass.

The sad thing is the 4th isn't even our nation's birth date. At best it's our conception date. It would be like creating a holiday for when the Mexicans defeated the French, and then treating it as their own Independence Day, except in this case our forefathers hadn't even won anything yet short of drawing up a parchment and saying "No more!" with it.

That all said, I wish Canada a happy birthday.

Any day that's significant for the founding of the nation is adequate. Independence Day makes sense because the formal declaration.

Speaking of origins, the Harley Quinn cartoon did something neat with the idea since Harley decided that her origin wouldn't be when she fell into a vat of chemicals to be like the Joker, but the day that she rejected him. Effectively, it was arguing the point that people (and nations) can choose the moment that defines them.
