I don't feel a day over 142.

Though, how do you define the beginning of Canada? Is it the evidence
of indigenous people back to 24,000BC? The Viking landing in about
1000AD? Is it the landing of Giovanni Caboto in 1497 (Colombo/Columbus
never made it to the mainland)? First permanent white guy settlement
in 1605? The battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759 (British vs
France)? The war of 1812 (British vs Americans)? Confederation in 1867?

I don't think it matters. We are as old as the ground we walk on and
as young as the ideas of the people who live here.

Happy Birthday Canada.

Andrei
