Here are some interesting facts about Canada Day: 1. **Birth of a Nation**: Canada Day marks the anniversary of the confederation of Canada on July 1, 1867, when the British North America Act (now known as the Constitution Act) came into effect, uniting the colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada (which became Ontario and Quebec). 2. **Originally Called Dominion Day**: The holiday was originally called Dominion Day until it was renamed Canada Day in 1982, following the passage of the Canada Act which gave Canada full sovereignty from the United Kingdom. 3. **Nationwide Celebrations**: Canada Day is celebrated with various events and activities across the country, including parades, fireworks, concerts, and barbecues. The largest celebration is held in Ottawa, the capital city, featuring performances, cultural displays, and a massive fireworks show.

Canada Day is a national holiday celebrating the country's independence from Great Britain in 1867. The new nation, still loyal to Great Britain, was called the Dominion of Canada and consisted of only four provinces ((Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec). Now, there are 10 provinces and 3 territories. Thought I would share some fun facts. • Canada is the second-largest country in the world. • One of the longest highways in the world is in Canada. • Churchill, Manitoba, is the "Polar Bear Capital of the World." • Canada crosses six time zones. • Canada has the longest coastline of any country. • Canada is the world's largest producer of maple syrup. • Canadian national sports are Lacrosse and Hockey • The name "Canada" has indigenous roots.

Embracing the True North - Where Eh Meets Elegance! 🍁   Can you believe it's almost been a year since I embarked on this wild Canadian adventure? Time flies when you're learning to say "sorry" like a true Canadian, eh? Kendra Fry and Lana Mau, thanks for teaching me that! :D Leaving the warmth of home for the frosty embrace of #Canada was a leap of faith, but hey, every journey needs a bit of frost, right? I've worked hard, hustled harder and seized every opportunity that came my way, not just for me, but for my family back in India and my incredible wife Akanksha Gupta who joined me on this adventure. I certainly learned to appreciate the resilience that keeps this place running even when the snow decides to throw a party. Now, about the "True North" - did you know Alfred Tennyson coined that term to express Canada's loyalty to the British Crown? Talk about commitment! Here I am, an Indian dude from a land that spent a good two centuries sipping tea and saying "cheerio" to the British Crown. Full circle, eh? But let's get real. Canada is more than just history; it's a land with a great heart and an unwavering spirit. Lately, there's been chatter about #immigrants being the root of all problems. Seriously, have they met me? Haha! There are more like me who are not here to cause trouble; we're just here to bring a little extra spice to the poutine of life. Sure, we face challenges, but that's the deal with any adventure. The backlash is there, but so is the warmth of new friendships and shared experiences. In a world where #diversity is strength, let's choose understanding over blame. So, here's to Canada - where the True North meets a funny guy from a land that once had the Queen on speed dial. Let's build bridges, break stereotypes, and show the world the power of ‘unity in diversity’ – Learnt this back home! :)   #canadalife #immigrantstories #spreadlove
