Happy Canada Day to our neighbors to the north! (also east, west and south depending on where you are in Michigan).
On this date in 1867, the British North America Act (now known as the Constitution Act) was passed, uniting the colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Province of Canada into a single, unified country.
Have a great celebration today and we'll apologize in advance for the noise this Saturday.
