Tiki Top Ten: What if . . .
July 1 (Tuesday) is Canada Day in Canada, eh?
July 4 (Friday) is Independence Day for those of us in the U.S.
As the U.S. and Canada share long borders, I wondered:
What if we shared the holiday
and held a weeklong celebration?
10. Hot dogs and poutine
9. Baseball and hockey
8. We could call it Canmerica
7. Or Amerada
6. Would we drizzle maple syrup on our nachos?
5. Schmoo cake and apple pie
4. Moosehead and Shiner Bock
3. Parades every day
2. Fireworks every night
And:
1. A greater understanding of our neighbors.
Happy Canada Day!
Happy Fourth of July!
Just a reminder:
MONDAY is the last day to enter the contest for a Kindle book of IN NAME ONLY .

Love,
Janie
Jemi - Good deal on the fireworks! Love Canusa! Wish I'd thought of that one :)
Slamdunk - I thought #9 would appeal to some of you :)
L.G. - Great idea! Lobby for it :)

Robin - I LOVE watching fireworks :)
Jo-Anne - We have differences, but many similarities, too. I hope to visit Australia one day.
Medeia and Teresa - Two for the price of one, LOL!
Helena - I'd do better designing a flag than writing an anthem, although I have written lyrics (unpublished) before.
VR - Yes! The more the merrier!
Lexa - Cool! Makes me happy to make you laugh.
way to meld the masses - it's amazing how different the US & Canada are when we are only separated by an invisible line!
and thanks for commenting on my broken branch falls blog tour!
Happy 4th, Carol!
Linda G - Do it!
Crystal - Very cool, indeed!
Julie and Rula - I'm in the not-so-much category with that one, too :)
I finally arrived, eh. Ah yes, a greater understanding of your quiet, shy, humble neighbours to the north. It's great to know that people even realise Canada exists, eh.
The land of Moose and Maple syrup and the land of "Have a nice day!" What a combo.
Yep, Happy Canada Day, eh
Happy Fourth of July, y'all :)
Nice one, Carol. Time to go watch the Canadian Football League. Baseball and yay Blue Jays!
Gary :)
... and they do say that sharing is caring!
Gary - Our northern neighbors are super cool. And our southern ones are really hot :)
Michelle - There ya go!
Deniz - I like the week off!
Never mind. Grassroots all the way.
Maple syrup on nachos should be trademarked asap! :-)
Mounties. I like Mounties. :-)
Take care

Milo - Very cool for you!
Old Kitty - Mounties! I should have added Mounties and SEALs! And firemen :)
