...religion has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in the early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle ecplipses with such care that in time they were able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others

is it just coincidence that Canada Day is so close to July 4th or the history of each country's independence related?

I don't think so...

Like everything else here, wayy more boring (subdued) compare to the US Independence day. It is 91 years after US Independence. That's why Canada is a part of British Commonwealth, I think the countries that doesn't have to fight for its independence (from UK) becomes part of Commonwealth.

  Canadian Confederation, the birth of Canada as a nation, took place on July 1, 1867, and originally included the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec. There are now 10 provinces and three territories in Canada. I was here when Nunavut became territories (it used to be one big one, together as Northwest territories).
