HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
I'm tossing out a salute to our
neighbors to the north today whereit's "Independence Day!"
Canada became self governing
on July 1st., 1867. "Canada" or
"Dominion Day" is, thus, like
our Independence Day.
Anyhow, I like Canada.
Visiting there is like visiting
another country. Oh. Wait a minute.
It still is another country, isn't it?!
Still we have a lot in common.
Most people there still speak
English although they often end
their sentence with the phrase "Aye?"
That seems more classy then "hayna?"
They sell things like hot dogs
and coke there and they even take
American money in payment. That's
kind of cool because when you come
back home you can give the kids
the Canadian money you got in
change!
Although our countries have
had occasional differences, like in
aluminum, we've really been very
cordial over the years. Until
recently anyway.
During my short term as a
DJ in Massena, New York, the bulk
of our audience was made up of
Canadians and they were always
very friendly even though their
requests required an "International
call!"
I don't know if they celebrate
Canada Day with fireworks but they
can cross the border and buy plenty
of them around here if they want.
Sorry to say, though. they'll have to
use American money. But at lest
they'll be able to spend the change
when they go home.

Now if we can only get them
to take back all that smoke they've
been sending out way. Aye?
We'd all feel better and all
We'd all feel better and all
our NEWS would be good!
