Happy 150th birthday to Canada! I think my country is looking pretty good for a geriatric.

Happy Canada Day! (Or do you guys do the weird usa thing of calling it the 1st of July?)

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".
