Happy belated wishes for Canada, whom we, the Dutch, have to be thankful to. They came in May 1945 in the Netherlands to liberate the Dutch from the Nazis.
Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada), formerly Dominion Day (French: Le Jour de la Confédération), is Canada's national day, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary of the 1 July 1867 enactment of the British North America Act, which united Canada as a single country, which was in turn composed of four provinces. Canada Day observances take place throughout Canada as well as internationally.
