Ethiopia is the only country in Africa without an Independance Day.

They beat the Italians.

We used to call it "Dominion Day", back in the day when Canada was a dominion. But that term's got too much colonial-era baggage nowadays.

So, yeah. Happy Canada Day, folks!

EDIT: It's still called Memorial Day in Newfoundland, commemorating the first day of the Battle of the Somme, in which the 1st Newfoundland Regiment took approximately 90% casualties. Solemnity first, then the party.

Returning the thought, Happy barbecue and fireworks day to our American friends!

(Just don't barbecue the fireworks. )
