Yeah there's a house party near me too, but I'm just not outgoing enough to go to a complete stranger's house without knowing one other person, I'm too shy

For me it's more about not getting raped. I am a huge fan of being alive also - and I prefer not to go to a weird persons house and get raped and killed. There are weird Canadians, too.

Does anyone know if the link to RSVP at the DC Embassy has come out yet?

Last year I got an email, and this year, nothing.

And I don't know if I'll be able to go anyway...my biometrics are July 1 at 1pm.

There's a Canada day celebration at a Pub on Walnut in philly too!

Still waiting on the embassy to announce their party. I'll keep you posted.

And if it came down to it, I would go to a strangers house with you! I am not that shy

I emailed them and they said they would announce it a few days before hand.

I have been checking every day... I am getting impatient.

I'm still trying to convince my boss to come down with me so I can make a business thing

We'll see...can't miss my biometrics appointment Maybe I'll go down there one day to see if they'll take me early.

An ode to Tim Hortons

In Days of yore,

From Cochrane's shore

Tim the dauntless hero came

And planted firm Tim Horton's flag

On Canada's fair domain.

Here may it wave,

Our boast, our pride

And joined in love together,

The fritter, cruller, walnut crunch,

The Maple Dip Forever.

[CHORUS]

The Maple Dip

Our donut dear,

The Maple Dip Forever.

As much Canuck as hockey pucks,

The Maple Dip Forever.

To Niagara Falls and Cabot Trail

Our brave parents side by side

For summer trips with loved ones dear,

Firmly sit and nobly drive.

And so their rights to coffee breaks,

We swear to yield them never.

Our watchword ever more shall be

The Maple Dip Forever

[CHORUS]

Tim's fair Dominion now extends

From Cape Race to Nootka Sound

May our Rims forever Roll Up

And free muffins and cars abound

And may those ties of love be ours

Which distance cannot sever

And shine with glaze for our delight

The Maple Dip Forever

I think its cute!

From what I can tell, there are no Canada Day festivities going on in good ol'Utah I will wear my red dress to work, I'll wish people Happy Canada Day, and they will say "what's that?" (just like last year!). That said, we have these "peace gardens" near our house (it's a local park), and throughout the gardens, they have different areas that pay tribute to different countries. They have a Canada one. I think that on Canada Day, I am going to go there after work and hang out. Surely there has GOT to be another Canadian with the same idea in mind. You never know!

Well, in America, the closest Canada Day party is about 2 1/2 hours away. Seriously, it would be closer to just drive to Canada!!! Probably not an option, as I have to work the next day

There was an email sent out by Connect2Canada on 06/22 that allows you to RSVP. If you did not get one, then you need to sign up for their emails. Just FYI, they are allowing one guest per person, but no transfers of the invitation email and you *have* to RSVP through the Connect2Canada email.

That's so odd, I subscribe to Connect to Canada e-mails and I don't recall seeing that one
