As people, Canadians are usually up for a party but we like to be low key about it. We like to get together, eat something, have a couple of drinks… Even our nation’s biggest birthday party held each year on Parliament Hill, is casual by some standards. There’s live music, some speeches and fireworks, that’s about the extent of it. When we try to get fancy, things can go badly. This year, extra funds were made available to celebrate Canada 150 and the majority of people are less than thrilled about the travelling red couch and the giant rubber duck, calling them off-brand and wasteful. Others have found there really isn’t a lot of hype around Canada 150 and what does exist seems somewhat forced. On July 1, 1867 the province of Canada joined with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Even back then, newspapers reported modest celebrations with Allan Curran built a one-quarter scale of a Sawyer-Massey tractor, seen here in the 1976 flag-raising, cookouts and spending time by the lake.
