It's Canada Day on Sunday.
The country is 140 years old.
Enjoy it. Celebrate the country. Support the Canada Under-20 soccer team, which starts playing this weekend.
Drink a beer. Light a firework. Sing the national anthem.
And learn about the country.
The Dominion Institute's annual survey showed that only 58 per cent of Canadians know the first two lines of the national anthem. Only 8 per cent know that Queen Elizabeth II is our head of state. Only 32 per cent knew that Canada has 10 provinces and three territories.
Strangely, immigrants tended to answer the questions correctly more frequently than Canadian-born respondents to the survey.
So, enjoy the weekend, and beef up on your knowledge of your homeland.
