Canada Day

Gary Arndt | Glassbox Media
About this episode

Every July 1, the people of Canada celebrate their national holiday of Canada Day. 

The day dates back over 150 years, and despite what many people think, the day isn’t exactly Canadian Independence Day. 

Also, for most of the time the day has been celebrated, it wasn’t even called Canada Day, which can provide an insight as to what the day was originally celebrating. 

Learn more about Canada Day, its origins, and how it is celebrated on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
