Nah, nobody ever calls it the 1st of July. Probably because it sounds too close to 4th of July, and small countries have COMPLEXES about being mistaken for their bigger neighbours. So yeah, it's always just Canada Day.
I made blueberry pancakes to celebrate the occasion. Some kind of red fruit would've been more thematically appropriate, but blueberries were all I had in the freezer. I have fresh raspberries with maple syrup for dessert, but I wasn't going to waste them by cooking them, not at those prices.
Nope, it's always Canada Day. The First of July sounds too close to The Fourth of July, and small countries have ISSUES about being confused with their gigantic neighbours. Not that anybody could call Canada small geographically, but in terms of population we are.
Well, we have Australia Day. Nobody would ever call it "26th of January" here. I remember being really surprised at being in the states in July and everyone refering to it as "4th of July".

Blueberry pancakes are very celebration-worthy!
Isn't even dark out yet and some idjits are setting off loud-boom fireworks, never saw the point of those.
