Your Home and Native Land...Whether you know it or not

Happy Canada Day, everybody!


Everybody knows that this Blag is based in New York.


That doesn't matter...the power of the Internets is worldwide. This blag has fans in foreign countries, as well as some Americans who are actually Canadian citizens.


How does that work?


Well, not long ago, (April 17th to be specific) Canada changed their citizenship rules which effectively granted Canadian Citizenship to many people who formerly didn't have it. So, believe it or not, you may be Canadian. You can real all about it on the Canadian Citizenship and Immigration Website. So, start saying "Eh" at the end of sentences, and tune in to watch your favourite Hockey team make a big splash on the first day of NHL free agency.


When is the first day of NHL Free Agency anyway?


Strangely enough....it's today!

I actually took the quiz on their website and got this message:

"Based on the information you provided, it appears that you are not a Canadian citizen."

I knew what the outcome would be, but I still feel rejected.

Also it says, as a reason:

"You were born outside Canada, neither of your parents was a Canadian citizen at the time of your birth, and you were never granted Canadian citizenship."

I can picture a mountie yelling this at me from atop his mighty steed, pointing his finger at me accusingly after each comma.
