Happy Canada Day
(Of course, even if we did somehow managed to get shot, we'd never have to foot the hospital bill anyway.)The nice thing about living in the capital during Canada Day is that the majority of the downtown area around the parliament buildings is shut down to traffic and opened up for pedestrians. In fact, every year for the past three years, I've been downtown on Canada Day, hanging out on Rideau Street. Every year, it's insanely packed and always a good time (Canadians know how to throw a party).
Unfortunately, even though it's nice out at the moment, we're supposed to have an incredibly intense thunderstorm later today, so I might not be going down this year. Oh well, I still have a nice view of the fireworks from my apartment.

Other nice things about Ottawa... the tulips (and more so the story behind them), Dow's Lake, good gelato, a wonderful Hard Rock Cafe (and the entire Byward Market), Memories Cafe, the National Gallery, the Aviation Museum, and Hotel Château Laurier.
All in all, not a bad place to live! Happy Canada Day to you. :-)
I didn't the end of the fireworks cause I got high and fell of Cavan's balcony, the bastard never even came down to see if I was ok or alive. Nevertheless, great view from the sixth floor...ohhhh my achin' back
