| | Dominion Day |
 | | In my country, today is Canada Day, which celebrates 131 years of the confederation of four British colonies into the "Dominion of Canada". |
 | | It used to be called Dominion Day, and, perhaps because it occurs after schools recess for the summer, not enough has been done to explain it in schools or at public events, so we've lost knowledge of the apparently small things which form Canada's greatness. |
 | | Canada was, after all, the first country in the world to gain its independence peacefully from another, which is no small thing, but we were not taught that in school. |
