Yesterday, Monday 6 August 2007 was August Civil Holiday in Ontario. The city of Guelph name the Holiday in honor of its founder, John Galt, a Scottish novelist. He was a contemporary of Sir Walter Scott.
The city organized a celebration. Everyone gathered in front of city hall for the raising of the John Galt flag. Then there was a skit performed by two people, one of whom was dressed as John Galt, the other dressed as an axeman.
After the skit, everyone was to sing "God Save the Queen." We didn't know the lyrics, and I don't think that many other people did, either.
Today, when we were thinking back over our experience, we had the totally awesome idea that we should've sung "My Country 'Tis of Thee" simultaneously at the top of our lungs and then chanted 'U.S.A! U.S.A!...!'
