Well I must say my Canada 150 long weekend was about 150% better than I had hoped it would be.
The music and the fireworks were amazing. Some friends from Montreal were staying with me, so I was able to party in both official languages.
And for the first time I felt that our other founding nations were being recognized at last.
I thought Justin Trudeau did a great job of presiding over the Canada Day festivities in Ottawa, as well as representing the spirit of the new generation.
But as you probably know, he made a small mistake.
To celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave a speech to a cheering crowd in Ottawa Saturday, highlighting the diversity and kinship of all the provinces and territories.
However, he failed to mention one major Canadian province in his speech — Alberta.
And even though he quickly apologized, the ghastly Cons and other Trudeau haters in this country tried to turn it into a big deal.
I must admit I'm in a mood to party, I've got so many reasons to celebrate.
The regatta season has begun. I've just graduated from more than two months of rehab to fully recover from my motorcycle accident. So I can finally join them out there this weekend.
I'm off to Europe next week, and I'm taking you with me.
And of course the best reason of all to party is that today is Canada's 150th birthday.
So you can imagine how shocked I was to see this recent story in the New York Times.
I'll always remember the day Stephen Harper decided to start celebrating Canada's 150th birthday, three years early.
And how critics warned that the infrastructure money that came with it could be used by the Cons as a giant slush fund.
And sure enough they were right.
Stephen Harper has spent more than a billion dollars on porky ads trying to brainwash Canadians, with their own money.
He has tried to hypnotize us into believing that his is a good government, and that he is a Great Leader. Even though he is the worst leader of the worst government in Canadian history.
And his totalitarian porky ad campaign is not only a sinister assault on our democracy, on a scale never seen before.
One that would make even the original Big Brother envious...
It's also an appalling waste of money, and blatantly fraudulent.
