When did Canada move?

Seen at Grasch's today...

The produce sign says "Gourmet EUROPEAN Seedless Cucumbers". 

The label on the cucumber says "Product of CANADA".

You might have already seen the advertising on BrookfieldNOW but Grasch Foods is holding its 25th Annual Brat Fest this Saturday, 9-15-07,  from 10 am to 4 pm.  In addition to food, a flyer I got today says that there will be balloon art and face painting for the kids.

Proceeds from each sale are being donated to the Waukesha County Special Olympics for transportation, equipment, and uniforms.

Good grief, did it move? Last time I checked Canada was just north of here, and still a part of the British Commonwealth.

This means that, although it appears to run itself as do Australia and New Zealand, it's actually part of the UK, hence lays claim to belonging to both North American and Europe.

So, it has a queen along with lots of princes and princesses, and does lots of curtsying whenever they fly on over for a visit.

Time for a pint or two!

Actually, Testosterone, Canada is NOT part of the UK.  The Commonwealth of Nations (formerly the British Commonwealth) and the United Kingdom are different entities.

Canada is indeed part of the Commonwealth (known as a Commonwealth realm), which means that it recognizes Elizabeth II as its monarch.  However, Canada is a sovereign state.
