would any canucks (hope that isn't a derogatory term, certainly not meant  
to be in this usage) tell me why today is significant? independance from  
england or ??? i keep hearing it was QE2 that "let" canada go 20yrs ago,  
even tho it was sovereign for much longer, but given the preponderance of  
french names and usage of the language, i would guess maybe france was  
involved? illuminate me :)
