While everyone knows about American Independence Day on July 4th (because Americans won’t stop banging on about it), fewer people know about Canada Day.

However, to Canadians, Canada Day is an important date in the calendar, celebrating Canada and all things Canadian.

Canada Day marks the occasion when the original three provinces joined together as one nation in 1867. But that’s a boring explanation, if we’re being honest.

This video offers a different way of explaining Canada Day to Americans. Which boils down to talking up the standard of living and explaining how Colonel Sanders (of KFC fame) lived in Canada for a time. And it’s brilliant.
