I am writing this on the Fourth of July, but as I am in Canada I will not be partaking in any U.S. festivities, including the annual barbecue at my neighbor Elaine's on West 87th Street. July 1 was Canada's national day, commemorating the anniversary of the
Constitution Act of 1867, which was celebrated with various activities in Sointula, starting with a parade and a pancake breakfast at the marina. People were outfitted festively in red-and-white, and on all such occasions there is always the appearance of "
Mounties" in full regalia. Herewith a few photos from the day. It was a sea of red and white.
One event at the marina was a contest.of Canada "trivia" matching two teams As I discovered there are many differences in Canada's constitution (both upper and lower case) from the U.S.
