Happy birthday indeed! I've been to central and eastern Canada many times and loved every minute of it, both the cities and the country. I look forward to touring the western and northern parts in coming years. (And any country that names a province "New Scotland" is OK with me.)
Found on the Internet: "It's Canada's 150th birthday! Here's to great people and those @#$%% geese."
To complete the puzzle the 4th Earl of Carnarvan was the Secretary of State for the Colonies in the British cabinet during the 1860s, and therefore would have been involved in the negotiations around Confederation.
And for the record, can I just say that I am really glad the new nation was not named Guefeleland! The forevermore Canadians would have been known around the world as "Guefs".
OMG
If that had happened maybe Newfoundland would have been in from the start we would have been the land of Newfies and Guefs 😂
Seriously though happy birthday Canada 🇨🇦
Proudly a first generation Canadian (Made in Scotland delivered in Canada)
