Happy Canada Day

On this date, 135 years ago, the British North America Act created the modern nation of Canada, which began with four provinces: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The last province to join Canada was Newfoundland and Labrador in 1949. The latest change to the political map was the foundation of the Territory of Nunavut in 1999.

Today, Canada is a nation bordering 3 of the world's oceans. We have a population of approximately 34 million people. We have one of the highest standards of living in the world. I am happy to live in this country. I hope you are as well.
