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).
