rfmcdonaldYesterday was Canada Day, commemorating the formation of the Dominion of Canada 139 years ago.
My Canada Day was fairly low-key, most of it spent on the Toronto Islands with J. I didn't even get to the fireworks at Ontario Place. This was fine.
People might be interested in the website Canada in 2020, home page for a project run jointly by the Toronto Star La Presse of Montréal, the CBC, and the Dominion Institute aimed at examining Canada's medium-term prospects. Currently featuring is an Andrew Coyne essay ("Imagining Canada's 153rd Birthday") printed in the Saturday Star that imagines a future Canada that's populous and prosperous without being much of a nation-state at all.
