Happy Canada Day!! 馃嚚馃嚘

I usually say that my ancestors were kicked out of Canada, but at least one emigrated for love. My great-great grandfather John Bazinet, born in Montreal, fell in love with American Philomena Bertrand. They married and moved in 1867 to my hometown in northern New York, where they lived the rest of their lives and had roughly a bazillion kids together. 馃挒

Do you prefer chicken or beef gravy on your poutine?

It鈥檚 Canada Day, and that has to be the most pertinent gravy question of the day.

Here鈥檚 a controversial (but tasty) sounding option from Canadian Living magazine.

Happy #CanadaDay to all you sexy peoples from the land of angry cobra chickens, prehistoric mooses, maply syrups and those succulent rivers of #gravy flowing from mountains of french fries (da quebecois) and cheese curds (the rest of y鈥檃ll anglophonic lot).

y鈥檃ll alright.

Tomorrow is Canada Day, and this year has seen a resurgence in Canadian pride after U.S. President Donald Trump's "51st state" threats. But in some parts of Canada, today has been proclaimed Indigenous Survivors Day. Here's @cbc@flipboard.com's interview with Troy Abromaitis, the Sixties Scoop survivor who created the observance. "By placing Indigenous Survivors Day on June 30, we invite Canadians to reflect before they celebrate Canada Day, and to remember the children who are taken and why this matters," said Abromaitis, a member of the Nlaka'pamux Nation from Lytton First Nation in British Columbia.
