Happy Birthday Canada!

You don't look a day over one hundred and fourty three. Okay, so maybe the arctic ice is melting and the permafrost is turning to mud, and yes, it's true, the tailing ponds from the Tar Sands are a bit of an eyesore(or is it birdsore?), and we can't deny that the CN Tower is no longer the world's tallest structure, but morally we don't send more asbestos that's banned here to the third world than they can use, and we did just host the G-20 that accomplished (what DID it accomplish? anyone know out there?), and people are admitting that the Parliament that just went home for the summer was one of the most useless on record and--wait, wait a minutes, THAT'S GOOD! they all went home for the summer: Parliament is not in session!
Ah, something to celebrate.

And may you have another one hundred and fourty three to grow kinder, gentler and wiser than you are now.
