To my beloved Canada... Happy Birthday :-D


Today marks the 142nd anniversary of the 1st of July, 1867 enactment of the British North America Act of 1867, which united Canada into a country that had four provinces.

Did you know that the name Canada comes from an Iroquoian (a First Nation and Native American language family - like Mohawk, Huron-Wyandot, and Cherokee) word which means "village", Kanata, that French explorers used to call the area currently known as Quebec City?Today, Canada consists of ten provinces and three territories.


142 years and looking awesome Canada! Love you and wishing you all the best, always :-D
