Today is kind of America Day. There is also a Canada Day celebrated on July 1 every year. Wikipedia explains,
Canada Day is the national day of Canada, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act, 1867 (today called the Constitution Act, 1867), which united three colonies into a single country called Canada within the British Empire.
Robert Spencer reports that this year on Canada day two Islamists "inspired by al-Qaeda ideology," were arrested.
Police allege the accused took steps to build the explosive devices and place them at the legislature in Victoria, where thousands gather each Canada Day to celebrate the country’s birthday. Evidence displayed by the Mounties showed pressure-cookers filled with rusted nails and a collection of metal nuts and washers.
