You guys missed Quebec's National Holiday on June 24th, but that's okay.  I'm not a big fan of nationalist holidays, seeing all those flags kind of freaks me out.  The first time I went to the US, I was just a kid, and what really made an impression was that all the houses had a flag flying in front.  I thought it was so strange and a bit frightening.  My father hated the states because at the time, we're talking the sixties here, they wouldn't accept Canadian money, even though it was worth more.
