Accck it's so sad how little Americans know of Canada and how much we know about you

Okay here's a quick lesson and the link I used for the info if you want to learn more...

"Canada Day celebrates the creation of the dominion of Canada through the British North American Act on July 1, 1867 uniting three British territories — the Province of Canada (southern Ontario and southern Quebec), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick - into a federation."

"The holiday was formally established by statute in 1879 and was originally called Dominion Day, making reference to the term "dominion," which was first used to describe a political union within the British Empire for Canada, at a time when the British government was hesitant to adopt the name proposed by the Fathers of Confederation: Kingdom of Canada. The name was changed to Canada Day on 27 October 1982, largely harking back to the adoption of the earlier Canada Act 1982."
