Title: As a good FOP...
Post by: Michel on Jun 29 07 02:30
I have a question for you. There's a firework for Canada Day right ? If so, at what time, and where are the good spots from where we can see it ?

I think that it's all the way out in Surrey on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.  The one at Canada Place was banned, unfortunately.  :(

  OOOOO...it's pouring rain.   Hold me, won't you?

  EDIT:  I'm wrong.  D"OH!  Did some googling and found this for ya, Michel.

Downtown is far from home?  Website says that you can view them from these areas.  You're by Commercial, right?  If you don't like crowds, then why did you ask about the fireworks, Michel?  LOL, you're too funny.

Yeah, I'm use to luxury, 8 years just a few blocks from the parliament in top level of low rise, I could see all the fireworks and military commemorative flights of the year from my balcony.

  If the weather is good, I'll try to go, thanks for the info.

Hopefully, you'll be dressed in red and white, right?

  I probably won't go.  I'm not that fascinated with Canadian fireworks display.  I sure hope that the weather is nice.

Me either I must say, but you know, from the balcony...

  I could also see the ones from the International Competition organised by the Casino de Hull (suburb on Québec side of the Ottawa River). That was more impressive I must say.

Wow.  I bet that it's wonderful (and convenient) to watch fireworks from your balcony.  It's more romantic, less crowded, unless you have a menage a trois or something. ;)

Yeah it was very convenient, fireworks over the parliament, very beautiful.

  No, no Ménage à trois unfortunately (I could live with that type of crowd anytime hehe)
