July 1st! Happy Canada Day! - 七月一日，加拿大國慶日！

Long story short...

On July 1, 1867, the British North America Act created the Canadian federal government. This act stated that Canada would become an "independent dominion" (territory) of England, which is why Canada Day was originally called Dominion Day. In 1982, Dominion Day changed to Canada Day after a vote in Parliament. Canadians celebrate Canada Day with parades, fireworks, picnics and food.

Happy 153rd birthday to Canada!

講古長話短說...

西元1867年7月1日<<英屬北美條約>>將英國在北美的三塊領地合併為一個加拿大聯邦，將之稱為「自治領日」(Dominion Day)，直到1982年加拿大完全取得獨立後，投票改名為「加拿大日」(Canada Day)。當今，國慶放假日最適合家庭、社區、好友們歡聚，各地也煙火大小慶祝不斷。

加拿大153歲生日快樂！
