Happy Canada Day

It's Canada Day and I'm never quite sure what to say.

Am I supposed to sing the praises of the numerous Canadian inventions and discoveries that changed the world: the paint roller, insulin, international peacekeeping, the telephone, basketball, the metal detector, the Avro Arrow, hockey, to name a few.

Am I supposed to sing an ode to Tim Horton's coffee, honey crullers and sitting around on Saturday nights, drinking two fours watching hockey?

Am I supposed to chant a patriotic monologue that I memorized from a beer commercial?

Am I supposed to apologise that we loosed Celine Dion on the world?

I have no idea. I'm speechless.
