It used to be called Dominion Day until July 9th, 1982 when the government voted to change it to Canada Day. So today is 40 years of celebrating Canada Day on July 1st.
Blessed and very proud to be Canadian. Our country isn’t perfect, none are, but it is a great place to live. https://t.co/mReA4y7bgl
Happy Dominion day! Remember, the Monarchy is the only reason Canada exists as an independent country, for had we chosen to rebel against the crown like our southern neighbors, we'd just be a frosty, underpopulated collection of states and territories within the American Union. https://t.co/5ff9jLSGEy
