We are in the week leading up to Canada's birthday
This means that around this time of the year, in 1867, dear old John A, bless his soul, was celebrating his almost single-handedly drafted bill of Our Fucking Constitution, which he completed through an impressively short period of time by work binging, well, he celebrated work done soon by disappearing on a drinking binge that delayed Canada's birthday to July 1st.
If dear John A haven't gone on a bender, Canada day would have been weeks sooner, in June, or even May? It wouldn't have been so bloody hot, but then we'll have a harder time selling the leftover fireworks to American tourists?
I love this guy, he remains my favourite Prime Minister. Happy Early Birthday Canada, and may Dear John A have the best hangover free buzz in heaven.
