    Default Happy Canada Day!

    Happy Canada Day!

    July 1, 1867, with the enactment of the British North America Act, this united three colonies into a single country called, "Canada" within the British Empire.

    When many think of Canada, it's often thought that Canada was the lovechild of England and France after a drunken one night stand, and when both parents packed up, they left us to grow up with our big brother, America, who was like the rebel of the family.

    Which to this day, is one of the reasons we still have all these awesome razor's hanging around!

    Happy Canada Day!!!

    Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield has created a Canada Day Music video with his brother Dave. It's really good. In Canada: http://youtu.be/zuVsHt3rBnc

    This seems a suitable place for this request -
    Could we see Bob's Canadian stamped razors all in one place to celebrate?!

    It occurred to me that while we celebrate today we should look back on the sacrifices made by previous generations that allow us this privilege today. Sacrifices made at places like Vimy Ridge, arguably the birth place of modern Canada. There is a lot to live up to.
