Canada has made progress in the past 150 years?  Well, maybe in the first 100, but I was a 12 year old kid at the time of the last big bash in 1967 and Canada was a much better place to live in back then.  Now we are strangled by governmnent and it's huge web of new laws on every aspect of human life.  Couple that with dismal economic policies that have treasonously hollowed out our industrial base and culture and it really stinks. Thanks Canada- NOT!
