Happy Canada Day, you hosers.
Canada Day, the national day of Canada, celebrates the anniversary of the date, July 1, 1867, when Canada became a single country, after uniting three British colonies.
Canadians in New York can meet up with their fellow ex-pats by joining the The New York City Expat Canadian Meetup Group
