OT: Happy 4th

[Caduceus]

There would have been no Canadian independence without an American Rebellion.

The Forts 4th of July fire works here on the west coast, specifically Vancouver, WA USA, was spactacular as usual but shorter than laster year. I would like, however, to tell the person who picked the music this year, that there song selection sucked *** horribly. Come on man.... over the [censored] rainbow.... where did that come from.. and the themes from ET and Jerassic Park? What in the hell were you thinking???? Give me ROCK or give me death!

Neither I nor anyone else can predict with any accuracy what would have happened with Canada had the American Rebellion not occurred. However, looking at what happened with other British colonies that did NOT rebel and yet attained their freedom (of which there were a lot!), I'd say it's very likely Canada would have attained independence at approximately the same time we did. Remember, Canada was not independent until 1867 which was nearly 100 years after the Revolutionary War. I doubt the memory of the American Revolution had much to do with Canadian independence at all. But hey, who knows??
