Canada Day

Have a Canadian cook-out, research the history of this wonderful country, or plan a trip to see first-hand what the vast and diverse place has to offer.

Canada, O Canada! What a great country exists in this world as Canada. Renowned for their politeness, the delicious local food known as poutine, and some of the most forward social and civil liberty laws in the known world. They began their existence in the world as three separate colonies that were all part of the British Empire, and Canada Day celebrates the joining of these three colonies and the creation of the country of Canada within the British Empire. Canada Day reminds us to celebrate this auspicious day and cheer the creation of the most polite country and socially progressive country in the world today!

History of Canada Day

Canada Day celebrates that day in history when the British North America Act (Now called the Constitution Act of 1867) was put into place. This was an important end to a long struggle to get Canada recognized as a separate country from its British parents.

Three colonies were bound together to create what is now recognized as one of the best countries in the world to live in. For a long time it had some issues with its currency not performing well on the world stage, but recently it has risen to prominence and held its own amongst first world countries.

Somehow in keeping with Canada’s reputation for humility, the country didn’t make a big deal out of this event over the next few years. In fact, it took until 1917 before any official celebration of the event was held, and it took a full 10 years for another to be held. In fact, it wasn’t until 1946 that what was then known as ‘Dominion Day’ even became known as Canada Day, and then until 1958, almost a hundred years later, until they started celebrating it yearly with government sanctioned events. Canada has to be the only country in the world that essentially won its independence from its mother country and then went on not to be bothered with making a big deal about it. Honestly, it’s a rather stark contrast to its neighbor to the south.

How to celebrate Canada Day

For most of the world the best way to celebrate Canada Day is to research the history of this rather remarkable country. They have a fair amount of pride in themselves as a country, but don’t resent or rale against the country that is still technically their sovereign. Canada Day is even celebrated in the UK, with large gatherings in Trafalgar Square to celebrate this country’s formation. Canada is an amazing country, and Canada Day is your day to learn more about it!

Of course, if research isn’t your thing, you can always bring a slice of the friendliest country on earth to your home. Get ready to practice your best accents because these ideas will have you saying, “what’s that all aboot?!”

Decorate In traditional colors

Canada’s colors are, of course, red and white. So, lovers of the Great White North can find anything that fits the scheme and incorporate it into their home’s design. The great thing about celebrating Canada Day this way (if you’re not Canadian) is that you don’t have to answer awkward questions.

No that’s not a Canadian flag in your front garden – you’re just digging primary colors at the moment!

Have a Canadian cookout

Cookouts aren’t only synonymous with Canada, but Canada is part of North America, so it counts. Even better, the Canadians have an eclectic mix of foods, some that Americans love (hello maple syrup) and others that aren’t as familiar. This makes for an insanely interesting BBQ with fat-lined bacon on the menu.

The sides are pretty novel, too. Who’s for ketchup- and dill pickle-flavoured chips? No? Okay, well there’s plenty of poutine, butter tarts and Nanaimo bars to go around!

Play Canadian-inspired games

Yes, that means getting physical and replicating some of the Great One’s signature moves. Gretzky hasn’t got anything on you! Variations of hockey aren’t the only sports played in Canada, so don’t worry if you’re not a fan of the NHL. Alternatives include searching for maple trees, making a canoe (and testing whether it floats), and reciting “O Canada.”

Hint – Robert Stanley Weir’s English version has four verses. Bonus points go to anybody who knows them without using Google.

Where to celebrate Canada Day

Well, of course a trip to Canada is an excellent excuse to hit up the Maple Leaf nation during its national holiday.

Ottawa

Montreal will be at the top of everybody’s hit list for obvious reasons. However, Ottawa is the most incredible destination at the beginning of the summer. The nation’s capital hosts free firework displays and concerts, encouraging thousands upon thousands of people to attend.

Parliament Hill is the perfect place to perch and watch the festivities from afar.

Toronto

The next stop is Toronto. Like Ottawa, the activities are free and plentiful, but Toronto has something the capital doesn’t – The Toronto Ribfest. Tons of ribs are transported to the city and grilled within an inch of their lives.

Meat-lovers take note because there aren’t better culinary delights found in the Deep South. Yes, that’s how good they are.

Vancouver

British Columbia does things a little differently, and Canada Day is no exception. The events are fishing-themed, the shows are full of lumberjacks, and it all takes place on the waterfront. It is possible to say more, but is it necessary?

No, we didn’t think so, either.

Jersey, C.I.

[venturavista]

This is probably one of the most underrated National Parks in the United States. Getting here can be a challenge but well worth it for the avid adventurer seeking new experiences. The park consists of 5 islands and many islets ranging from small landmasses to large islands with complex eco systems, endemic species, and abundant sea life above and below the water.

Marlborough Sounds Mail Cruise

Today, I went about 30 minutes up the road to Picton to go on a mail run in the Marlborough Sounds. In the north of the south island, the road stops at Waikawa, just past Picton, so anyone who lives past there has to access their property by boat. The mail gets delivered to them every few days, and people like me get to tag along. Most of the property out that way would likely be a secondary home or bach that would get more use in the summer, but there are some yearlong residents as well.

Started off in Picton Harbour for some lunch and a soak in the sunshine ☀️

Then, onto the boat for the mail cruise. We cruised through the Tory Channel and Queen Charlotte Sound.

A while back, farmers used to farm on some of the sounds, but when the costs started getting to high, many moved off the sounds into town. Because they couldn't get a profit for the land, there was a forestry initiative to plant pine trees. The thing about pines is once you plant them, they just keep spreading. And when the pine needles fall, the soil becomes too acidic to allow much of anything else to grow. So now, they're trying to reduce the pine population. One of the ways they did that from the outset of the initiative was to fly over the sounds in a helicopter and shoot the pine trees with poisoned bullets to kill them. Once that was deemed unsafe, they now poison the trees by hand in sections, so there are a lot of dead pines out there! But, where they have now died, other native plants are growing in their place.

Here are some more pics! Not much more to say, except that it was a lovely day on the water 🌊

^^thought the parents would like this one! It's at a swanky holiday home owned by this big real estate company in Auckland called the Lazy Fish where (according to the skipper) they send employees to "pretend to take meetings and drink wine."

Oak Island update: the real treasure was the friends we made along the way

NOVA SCOTIA, Canada – The legendary Oak Island treasure has been found! But if you were hoping for a treasure trove of gold, silver, and jewels, you’ll probably be disappointed. But for the island’s current residents, the real treasure is something far more valuable: the friends they made along the way. “Do I still think there’s buried treasure on Oak Island? Of course I do,” said Rick Lagina,…

A Treasure Trove of American History: Unveiling The Prominent Americans

A Treasure Trove of American History: Unveiling The Prominent Americans

As a history buff with a particular fascination for American figures, I was ecstatic to discover The Prominent Americans. This unique product piqued my curiosity – a collection of beautifully crafted, miniature figurines depicting iconic individuals who shaped American history.

Beyond the Textbook: Bringing History to Life

What truly sets The Prominent Americans apart is the focus on storytelling. Each figurine comes packaged with a captivating booklet detailing the individual's life story, accomplishments, and impact on American society. These booklets go beyond dry facts and figures, weaving a compelling narrative that brings these historical figures to life.

A Gallery of Greatness in My Home

The figurines themselves are a sight to behold. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, they capture the essence of each prominent American. From George Washington's stoic expression to Marie Curie's determined gaze, the figurines transport me back in time and spark my imagination. Whether displayed individually or curated as a collection, The Prominent Americans add a touch of historical charm to any room.

A Learning Experience for All Ages

The Prominent Americans aren't just visually appealing; they're incredibly educational. I've found myself delving deeper into the stories of individuals I might not have known much about before. This has sparked a renewed interest in American history not only for me but also for my children. They love learning about these historical figures through the engaging booklets and the interactive element of the figurines.

More Than Just a Collection, It's an Investment in Knowledge

While The Prominent Americans might initially appear as a collection of figurines, it's much more than that. It's an investment in knowledge and a captivating way to learn about American history. The combination of beautifully crafted figures and informative booklets creates a unique learning experience that's both engaging and enriching.

A Recommendation for History Enthusiasts (of All Ages!)

If you're a history buff like myself, or if you're looking for a captivating way to introduce your children to American history, then The Prominent Americans is a must-have. It's a beautiful collection that educates and entertains in equal measure. The attention to detail, the captivating stories, and the interactive element make it a truly unique product that I highly recommend.

Behold! o/ The Face Of Benevolent Evil!

Mr. Principle! A professional hero and educator!

Also possibly some sort of stoat hybrid! Certainly a chimera of Japanese fauna! With the Quirk High Specs, he is one of, if not THE, smartest beings on the planet of which he resides! With a background perfectly justifying a decent into hatred and villiany, he instead chose to channel his incredible world shaking intellect into the shaping of future generations!

He likes to fuck with people!

For FUNSIES~☆!

What can he say? It keeps a man young and mentally stimulated! Plus the hysterical screaming of his staff and students is HILARIOUS. He can even argue it makes for good reaction training! Unforseen situations, children! React!!! *psychotic chortling*

Mmmmm, yes. We all have our trauma responses. Ways we deal with them. He should probably find other means... but he won't! Tea and tormenting the student body make for good future heroes, you know! They adapt!

But! You may ask! Why am I introducing you to this... *polite yet somehow deeply threatening smile* c-completely sane and normal individual!? Esteemed educator that he is! Ha ha...

A good and not at a under threat question!

Villains? Are fuuuuuckin STUPID!

Doesn't matter how many PHDs you possess! In fact! That makes it WORSE! You moron! You absolute fool! No traveling circus would have you, you sub-rate CLOWN of a jingle jangle dunce jester! You have a god damn PHD! Possibly MULTIPLE PHD!

And you thought "ooooh I should go into cwiiiiime~☆"?

Do you hear yourself when you talk? DO YOU?! Ooooh boohoo. They won't let you study what you WANT to study. It's called an ETHICS BOARD. And YEAH, NO SHIT! Maybe get over it and keep you fucked up fantasies to your SELF.

Or? If you REALLY can't hold it in? Lay the ground work like EVERYONE FUCKING ELSE! You're not special! Everyone wants to play god! It's FUN! They let you have the COOL toys! But you have to EARN that shit! Not jump straight from graduation to "fucked up superscience"!

And? If it's NOT the Ethics Board? But just some bureaucrat on a power trip? You don't have to fucking STAY. This? This RIGHT HERE? Is why I-Island fucking EXSISTS.

APPLY.

They are SO MANY countries you could move too. SO MANY other labs. You actual DUMBASS.

But NO! You decided to commit to a fucked up underground Villian Lab. As though HUNTING THOSE isn't the PERSONAL fucking passion project of THE SMARTEST BEING IN JAPAN. Frankly? You deserve this. You deserve this and our school doesn't know you. Never heard of you. You whoms't?

Coulda changed the world. But instead all you did was piss of The Fuzzy White Demon Lord of UA. Rest in pieces. *click*

*sound of doors smashing open*

*violent Raid Upon Your Labs noises*

But! You may ask? What's IN the Lab?

What MAKES this a DP crossover?

I like your question asking spirit! Good one! And the answer? You know what's better then ONE(1) Nedzu? A second one that you can ACTUALLY control this time! After all! You could consider Mr. Principle a prototype. A proof of concept, if you will. If you were able to make ANOTHER.....

Well, you would set off EVERY. SINGLE. ALARM. Nedzu has set up!

All of them!

Because he don't PLAY THAT.

He has long last trauma from the labs and is the SOLE FUCKING SURVIVOR. There WERE others. They Did Not make it. And their slow agonizing deaths are carved into his brain for the rest of his life. Truely "The living shall envy the dead"; it was a place that made hell seem merciful.

When he declare Never Again?

He fucking MEANT Never Again. He will BURN your empires to ash, with you in them. No More Labs.

So :) You can IMAGINE :) HOW HAPPY HE IS :)

That someone out there is trying to RECREATE his SUPER traumatic childhood, on ANOTHER CHILD. Ha ha! Gonna be a second Nedzu huh? Planning to torture HIM like you did me, HUH? Shove him in a cage and treat him like an animal? Force him to watch as the others die? Collars and whips and cattle prods? Mazes?!

Nedzu may lose his shit.

Juuuuust a little bit.

But if anyone there knows what good for them? They saw NOTHING. What's a little PTSD flashback between friends? Now what is the baby?

Smashcut to said baby!

Because it was a TEAM effort, Danny was successful in "Nuh Uh!"ing out of Rulership. But NOT out of governance. Since he DID help. He's a Councilman now. It's? Not as bad as it could be, honestly. Since it's opened the Zone up to a more democratic system.

Still held by "kick the ass of the person you wanna replace" but still!

Babysteps.

Thing is? There was apparently this weird? Leak? Like a couple hundred years ago, in this one area, that was never addressed. Everyone just moved their doors and stuff. Treated it like the floors flooded. But now that they HAVE someone to complain too?

They all want their territories back.

"Go fix it!" What are we? Janitors?

Danny looses the rock, paper, scissors competition. He's pretty sure Boxy cheated. But like? Dude has a kid to go home too, so Danny doesn't fight him to hard on this. Uuuuuugh. Just remember the Spider-Man motto. Great power~ blah blah blaaaah~

And? Wow is it fucked out there.

The whole PLANET has to be limnal as FUCK. Yikes.

Problem is? When he and his team (Because YES, he HAS learned from his mistakes, Jazz.) get close to the... frankly the Zone here looks like distorted spiderwebbing. With him leading the charge, obviously.

....something happens.

It's... it's not a portal. Wrong color. It's like someone USED the weird spiderwebbing effect to... to reach INTO the Zone? But they are severally Limnal. Clawed hands, blue tint. But that's not the problem.

No, the problem.

The Horror.

The thing that his team can only watch on in agonized terror as it plays out... is that hand? It shoots out of nowhere. Ghostlike in the Zone. Meaning it must be living. And PLUNGES directly into Danny's chest to wrap around his core.

Time seems to slow.

He can't even scream in pain. At the violation. His team, acquaintances, yes, but friendly ones. Can not even cry out in horror, as they watch their friend and team lead be butchered before them. Before that uncaring hand is ripping back. Perfect ice and starlight in its uncaring grip.

For a terrible moment... he is in two places at once.

Then he is crushed in a burning grip. Like molten bars. Watching his own body dissolve into nothing in an instant, pain and horror still etched upon his face. The beginnings of screams ripping from his team as they jerk away from the nightmarish threat.

Then he can not think at all.

He... he TRIES. Knows he has been captured. Is certainly not the sort to give up easily. But... he's so tired. His body feels? Weird. Not wrong, per say. It's HIS. But... small and weird. Like he's shape shifted into a new form and hasn't adjusted yet.

....

.......

...........

He's getting really sick of all the goop against his whiskers and in his ears. It feels WEIRD against his fu- WAIT a second... did those assholes shove him into an animal? Why?! To contain him? Ha! Jokes on them! He's DONE THIS before!

For FUN!

He once spent a whole ass summer as a tiny dragon just 'CAUSE!

Unfortunately, said assholes notice him waking up. Dump him in a glorified hamster cage. But like.... a SHITTY "I don't care about the pet I bought" hamster cage. Dude. And he's naked.

Is that Japanese? Ooooh! It IS! Thank you, Tucker's Weeb phase.

......actually, never mind. Lotta dehumanizing language there, my guys. What is this? The GIW international? You couldn't even give me PANTS? Swear to God, call me an "it" ONE more time and the next time I have to go? I am going to aim through the bars at your-! *alarms going off*

....wasn't me.

I mean, be all means, ha ha and get fucked, but? Wasn't me. Oh hey! Some one exploded the doo-

AND? In Lab 4?

Nedzu finds a child with fluffy, ungroomed black and white fur, and the curious yet cautious eyes of a survivor. They are the most magnificent green, pale and luminous they glow in the laboratories lighting. Paws too big for his small frame, delicate ears on the swivel, equally large. Yet to grow into either. Adolescent, at best.

He watches the child take him in. Note his features and the chaos behind him. The injured scientist under his feet. Come to him conclusion. Nedzu will not rush him. Now that he... he stand the chance to be the hero he himself never had. It is a strange feeling. At once cathartic and unbearably painful.

He is given the equivalent of a cheerful grin, as the lad points the the lock on the cage. Is asked if he happened to bring a spare pair of pants. He can not help his amused chortle as he makes quick work of the lock. The unbearable RELIEF he feels.

He... he was not too late.

These monsters had no chance to crush the boy's light. To make a monster of him, like they did with him. He survived his laboratory, his hell. But not all of him left that terrible place. He knows that. Some innocence, some goodness, died alone in the dark. But here? He insured there would be no chance.

With amusement, he watches the boy turn the lab upside down until he finds spare scrubs. Triumphant, he then considers his own, tiny claws. Dismisses them. Attempts to hop up on a chair to retrieve something sharp. It? Is unbearably cute. To watch him rip and shred, problem solve. His little mind churning away. Whiskers twitching as his eyes dart around, considering his options.

Nedzu offers one of his spare knives.

Watches him light up.

Adorable~
