Happy Canada Day
Tonight we’re going to a Canada Day dinner hosted by the Canadian-Gozitan (Gozitans are people from Gozo) Society. It should be fun.
In 2001, we celebrated Canada Day in a slightly dodgy Austrailian bar in Dublin (the city didn’t have any Canadian bars that we knew of). The Hip was on the stereo, the Molson flowed and Don Cherry was on the big screen. It was a tad surreal, but a good time was had by all.
In celebration of Canada Day, I cruised through my Flickr photos and found some that felt particularly Canadian:
There are more after the jump.

Ah… the wonderful Canadian geese. We in Minnesota curse Canadians when those lovely birds come migrating through! ;-)

Is there such a thing as a “Canadian Bar?”
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a place outside of Canada.

Thomas: I know of at least three: the Maple Leaf in London, and the Great Canadian and the Moosehead in Paris. I’m not saying they’re necessarily good bars, but they’re definitely Canadian.

hey buddy
I checked out the moosehead and the great Canadian and my view is the Canadian looks a little smarter but the service sucks and the staff are not very cool,
The moosehead on the other hand made me feel more at home the food was thye real deal and there were babes galore? so thats my pick, Although they are not like you will find at home they’re the next best thing.
