Just kidding. Happy birthday Canada.

Lemon, its Wednesday.

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.

The name of the holiday is "independence day" the day we declared independence.

A better analogy would be the day your parents fuck to conceive you, and celebrating that instead

It's Bobby Bonilla Day in America.

That's more or less what I said by "At best it is our conception date."

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.

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.

Sure, and I can go with that, but I am pointing out that we chose our defining moment to be when our forefathers wrote and signed a piece of paper when they were both in the minority of the colonial population and not gaining any ground (as of yet) against another third of the population that remained loyal (the last third didn't want anything to do with this conflict whatsoever). That's right, our defining moment is when the colonies were divided between inept authoritarians, rioters unhappy about not being represented for the taxes being required to pay for the Seven Year War the American colonists had started years prior (and yet were asked to pay less than other British colonies), and literally everyone else. I wonder how much has changed?

But for me... it was Wednesday.

Just another day of me being extraordinary.
