Happy Canada Dsy. Spent the morning touring the Royal Canadian Mint in the captial, Ottawa and had to opportunity to hold a kilo of gold bar under the watchful eye of security guards. Also saw a display of a million dollar pure gold coin. They only make a limited amount - on demand basis. Any of you own one??? HaHaHa?

  Ummm ... you bet I am.
  We Canadians are not vain glorious.
  We don't trumpet all year long -- today is our day to do that.
  Today, we let everyone know that we believe that our country is the most civilized multi-cultural nation in North America, and maybe in the whole world.
  
  WOO HOO! Canadians rock! Canadians rule!
