Canadian history? Uh... I don't really find it that interesting. xD It's basically just the Natives settled here and the Europeans kicked them out (and then some other Europeans kicked those other Europeans out lol). xD
But maybe Canadian history might not be as boring as English history. :D
I'm in Waterloo, so I guess they're be fireworks.I remember in England that they would let off fireworks for about 10 mintues in London and every news channel would broadcast it. Also, I find Canadian history very interesting. Probably because it's not as boring and long as English history
Hmm... New Years Day... Uh, well I'm not sure how it's celebrated where you are, but in Niagara Falls, for every special day, they always shoot fireworks by the Falls. They might have fireworks where you are; if not, then you can probably just enjoy a nice big dinner out or in. ^^
