Canada Day, a time to celebrate and enjoy. We are really lucky in this "Great Country". Yes we have our challenges and they are many. From the cab drivers strike in Windsor, Ontario to our brave men and women in uniform fighting in Afghanistan. But more than any other place in the world, we have peace, order and stable communities.
Yesterday, throughout the country millions celebrated, some with family gatherings, some playing golf, some at the cottage, some worked in their flower gardens and there were lots of fireworks to end the day.
Right here in Amherstburg, a small beautiful town on the Detroit River, many residents gathered along the shoreline as dusk signaled the end of the day. When darkness finally came, the multi-coloured flashes in the sky lit up the river, and filled the airwaves with delayed thunder. This went on for nearly 30 minutes, all the while you could see ice cream being enjoyed and hear the giggle of children and adults. When it was all over everyone gathered up their belongings and families and headed home.
It was a Great 1st of July.
