Re: Happy Fourth of July

Happy July 4th!
History and genealogy play fine twists of fate. But for the fate of
selecting a destination I may have been a Georgian and not from Prince Edard
Island. More accurately I might have come from Cape Fear North Carolina and
who knows. So the issue is quietly and perceptively not that I live in
America or Canada, but we can and should celebrate July 4th with equal pride
for the fine heritage which it brings to the world, including the longest
lived free constitutional nation in the history of the world. Happy July
4th! Celebrating being Proudly American in Canada with a waive to Ric in
Illinois (a Canadian in the US).
Neil from Toronto
Of note there are more Canadians in Florida and California than in the
Maritimes and more Americans in Canada than Delaware. A North American Fact.
