| | Canada Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Canada Day celebrates the creation of the dominion of Canada through the British North America Act on 1 July 1867, uniting three British territories — the Province of Canada (southern Ontario and southern Quebec), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick — into a federation. | | | The name was changed to Canada Day on 27 October 1982, largely harking of the adoption of the earlier Canada Act 1982. | | | Until the act was repealed in 1947, many Chinese-Canadians referred to 1 July as "Humiliation Day" and refused to celebrate Canada's birthday. |

| | In some of the Southern states there was opposition to the observance of such a day on the ground that it was a relic of Puritanic bigotry, but by 1858 proclamations appointing a day of thanksgiving were issued by the governors of 25 states and two Territories. | | | During the American Revolutionary War the Continental Congress appointed one or more thanksgiving days each year, except in 1777, each time recommending to the executives of the various states the observance of these days in their states. | | | Done at the city of Washington, this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-eighth. |

| | Happy Canada Day!!! |
| | Canada Day celebrates the events that occurred on July 1, 1867, when the British North America Act created the Canadian federal government. | | | This change reflected the policy of successive governments to downplay Canada's colonial origins. | | | The BNA Act proclaimed "one Dominion under the name of Canada," therefore the original title of the holiday, "Dominion Day." Dominion Day was officially renamed "Canada Day" by an Act of Parliament on October 27, 1982. |
