For everyone who never heard of it before, Canada Day is like our version of the Fourth of July, but with a bit less fireworks and a whole lot more apologies. Instead of grilling burgers and hot dogs, we might fire up the ol' barbecue and slap some maple-glazed bacon on there. And instead of declaring independence, we quietly ask the Queen (now King I suppose) for permission to celebrate another year of being politely Canadian.

Canada day is also the day we Canadians let our inner politeness take a backseat and embrace our wild side. Instead of blowing shit up like you do on the Fourth of July, we opt for a tamer celebrations like synchronized apology routines, maple syrup chugging contests, etc. Wild, eh?

Happy Canada Day!
