Canada Day.

Both people who are pro Confederate or pro-union will be surprised.

When anti-white angry Joy Reid gets mad at pickup trucks with American flags going down the road, she needs to remember that there's still a lot of racism against indigenous people in Canada.

LTC (Join to see) a question. Back around 2005 I took exception to one of my classmates assertions on how good the Canadian health care system was. She was Canadian. She finally gave up but also said that the system was actually two systems. One for Canadians and one for the Indigenous people. She also said the government insurance worked only for the Indigenous on the reservations. A. Was that correct, B. Is it still that way or has it been reformed. Thanks.

Remember, Canada was one of a scant Number of Countries to Help the US during the Hostage Crisis in Iran in the 70's.

LTC William Gilmore I misunderstood it as the equivalent of Canadian independence day. Which is on the 1st. My mistake

A work day because we had yesterday off and Lieu of Canada Day falling on a Saturday. July 1st is Canada Day.

A month from now I'll think of the USA when an A-10 Warthog demonstration team comes to Edmonton.

Canada had a hundred bases and trained over 105, 000 Harriman from all over the world during World War II because Canada was far enough away from Japanese and German bombers. Canada joins England and France in september, 1939 so Americans who wanted to fight to defend Freedom before the US got involved went to Canada to volunteer instead of running to Canada 25 years later to avoid the draft and not serve in the Vietnam conflict. Canada didn't care if you were American and you could become a commissioned officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force. I once wrote a story about an American private that was mobilized for the one-year mobilization of all reserve and guard forces. He got bored marching around so he went absent without leave and took off the canada. He was accepted in their military and they didn't know about him being a deserter of this unit. He ended up to coming a flight officer which is a command equivalent of a captain and he flew and a submarine warfare missions over Scotland and the North Sea looking for German you both to sink. After the war was over, he married a Canadian, got a Bachelor's degree from Canadian colleges. He then turned himself into the US forces and was thrown in military police detention for a month. He was able to contact the Canadian embassy and they were able to forward his military file to the US Army. The US Army let him go on one condition that he did not ask for his back pay from the time he left his unit in 1941. True story I read this years ago.

I worked with a number of Canadian fighter pilots that came to my base for training.
