So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
Sunset is an angel weeping / Holding out a bloody sword — Bruce Cockburn, Pacing the Cage |

I was born in Toronto, Ontario raised in London and then moved back to Toronto. I’ve lived in Vancouver for almost 5 years now.
I have never before spent Canada Day outside of my home and native land.
It’s perhaps surprising, but perhaps not, to realize how blissfully unaware Americans are of our national holiday. Linkages between Seattle and Vancouver are closer than perhaps any other pair of large cities (except perhaps Windsor & Detroit) and yet this city seems barely aware of the existence of this holiday weekend.
So my Canada Day passed uneventfully. I spent time in a cybercafe, I visited a hospital to pick up some data, I took the bus in Seattle for the first time ever.
Of course, I visited the Patagonia store and bought a new frisbee (my old one cracked.)
I’m sure the 4th will be more eventful - they certainly know how to celebrate that down here.
