Yes, I'm sure we all can, Frank.
You simply wished Canadians a Happy Canada Day, July 1. The vast majority of Canadians did, I am sure, celebrate quietly (the Canadian Way) their 'new' or 'old' citizenship, and what that means to them.
The side-track was really by Canadians expressing their thoughts on what this past year has meant to them, personally; Canadians deal with history and its realities on their way to becoming better than they are -- it seems to be in their culture -- don't you agree?
And from there the thread moved into the weather in Western North America. These threads often evolve from wishes to concern.
So here, Frank, in the closing hours of July 4, I hope you had a super, celebratory, reflective July 1 (what I still call Dominion Day, probably due to dual citizenry) and that our American cousins had an equally super, celebratory and reflective July 4 (what they call Revolution Day and I call Civil War Number One) .

Well TD, as a forum moderator representing xmarks, and the correct opinion is to highlight concerns; the reason I felt it prudent to mention a happy Canada Day, as there have been many Church's burned due to arson, along with statues of past and the current monarch being toppled.
I'm sure as a moderator, you can agree that it's sometimes best for threads to stay on topic. In today's climate all side streets can lead to politics, so it's best to stay on the main road.
