Despite all the build-up, this Canada Day seemed very anti-climatic. Sure, we all wore the red and white shirts. My city had its usual parade and fireworks show, but it was no different than any other July 1st.  As countries go, 150 years is not very old anyway. Some European countries can trace their beginnings back 2000 years or more, so 150 seems like just a drop in the ocean.

In any case, I hope everyone had a good holiday. Now it's back to work!
