Even US border neighbours know little about Canada. I welcome everyone to this forum! Other nations get to know us and if you are Canadian, help spread fun education! :-)

| Friday, July 3, 2009 at 10:49 AM | HAPPY CANADA DAY!
Each July 1st, the world's second-largest country celebrates her birthday. Yesterday the occasion marked #142. Ron & I haven't been up for crazy parking or bottleneck crowds in years but he walked down our road to see the fireworks. Spring flooding ended but heavy rain last week caused a river rise around southern Manitoba, which includes our capital city, Winnipeg. Our popular "Paddlewheel Queen" fleet has been at a standstill so far, due to unsafe levels and rushing debris. more... Many riverbank residents avoid traffic by docking at The Forks, one of two locations the city chooses for the event each July 1st. When Ron cycled earlier in the day, it was clear boating prohibition at the Forks didn't put any dent on patriotic participants. Crowds were gatherering early to watch the display and sing "Oh Canada" together. less |

| "Bang (Starting Over)" |
| Here's the 2nd single from "Bang (Starting Over)", 1990, Corey Hart's fifth studio album. His genre changed with every release, this one harder rock. "Bang" abbreviates a positive thought: "Build A New Garden". |

| Proof of Corey Hart in the non-80's era! ;-) Here more...is release #1 from the 1990 album "Bang". Fun trivia - this actually abbreviates an uplifting mantra "build a new garden". less |

| Corey Hart's 1986 single, from his 3rd album "Fields more...Of Fire". Watch the background and take in the lyrics. This is a bit of a sequel to earlier work. There's also a 12" long version, rare but great! less |

| You knew this was coming! The most famous song Corey more...composed, in 1983, from "First Offense". Trivia- there are 3 versions of the record! The rarest has Canadian cover but switched songs! The later, USA release, kept the common songs but changed covers. less |

| Who doesn't remember this floor-filling song from more...1985? The intriguing beat and instrumentation are powerful, mystical. After the unique visual depicting it, you're hooked! Trivia- "Boy In The Box" doesn't contain 'the signature song' but this 2nd album is his most chart-breaking of all 8. less |

| I'm blessed to experience Corey in concert thrice. more... Usually storyline videos, this is a taste of his high-energy performance. It blows you away to be there (especially when it's your tradition to evade guards and skip to the front). Album "Boy In The Box", 1985. less |

| Hard to come by video for this 1986 single. It is more...a gorgeous vista of the Canadian landscape. From Corey Hart's third album "Fields Of Fire". less |
