I saw that earlier. I knew today was a holiday, but didn't realize it was a special one.

Happy Birthday, Neighbors!

Is there a QVC channel in Canada?

I can see Canada from my house.

Seriously, I can.

Happy Birthday to our dear friends to the North.

I have a friend whose girfriend's daughter-in-law is from Canada and they all live in Rochester, Minnesota. I got an

e-mail from him today telling me the daughter-in-law, because July 1 is Canada Day and Canada's Sesquicentennial,she flys her Maple Leaf flag and an adjacent Quebec Province flag. On July 4 she will replace the Quebec banner with the Stars and Stripes and as he put it, she D_amn well better!!!

He and I share the same love of history and he is very patriotic as I am so I fully understand his comment. If the Stars and Stripes aren't up and visible he will be one very upset man.

I can't actually SEE Canada from my house - but if I go up to the roof of our main condo building - 6 floors up - I can see the Niagara River and Ft. Erie Canada to the west...and the mist rising from the Falls to the north (on a clear day).

Happy birthday Canada! You don't look a day over 125.

Have visited lovely Canada a few times and they're some of the best people on the globe! IMO. Except for the few passionate, angry fans in Toronto's Blue Jays Stadium. Okay, my team has those fans, too. Strike that comment and have another great year.

I live just a couple of hours from the Canadian border and have visited countless times. My husband and I just returned from our fourth visit to Quebec City. It is a beautiful, scenic city and the surrounding areas are stunningly beautiful. I've been to British Columbia, New Brunswick, and most often to Ontario. Canada is beautiful. Happy 150!

Thanks from this Canadian for the birthday wishes! It was one rainy weekend. Came down in buckets which put a damper on fireworks etc. Rain from Ottawa east. Not sure about the west Coast.

There is no QVC in Canada. We used to be able to shop here but that was discontinued a few years ago.

Enjoy July 4th! LM🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CANADA!

We love your country, we've been to the west side quite a few times, Vancouver, Victoria Island and camping in the forest area. Beautiful and wonderful people.

I have a very special fondness for Victoria Island

@Noel7, if you loved Vancouver you would like Halifax. Both coastal cities, both with lots of green spaces in the city. Halifax is smaller at 450,000. Our winters are harder also. I love Vancouver too! LM

'For whatever reason' I've always thought that Canada is older. Well, from photos I've seen of Montreal. Very old European/French architecture. Well, Happy Birthday, dear neighbors. We are very lucky to have very friendly, nice neighbors. (Make no mistake: could be a lot worse, and that's for sure.)
