GA Russell Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Today is Dominion Day, Canada's national holiday. On July 1, 1867, Canada became a distinct dominion within the British Empire. This is the non-political forum, so I won't get into my opinion of Pierre Trudeau changing the name to Canada Day. My grandmother was a Canadian, born in Tweed, Ontario, in 1878. So a toast to her memory, and to all of you Canadians today! Quote
GA Russell Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Posted July 1, 2008 The Globe & Mail has a Canada Day quiz on Canadian and American history. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto...adaDay2008/home I got 18 of 20, missing only both questions regarding women's suffrage. Quote

Got the suffrages wrong too ! Quote
