I have not gone in a few years, because they usually do not last long, but i decided to go this year, probally in riverview..or crystal palace..anyone else celebrating our democratic country?

I probably would check it out if I was in town but I'll probably be partying in Fredericton.

I hope its fun..i have not been to any in a while, but my friend is leaving for the summer, so we are having a party for her

i would love to go but i found out i have to work so eh like every year i get f*cking stuck working but that is life

Actually i might be starting a new job. Oh and i am sorry you have to work !

dont be sorry i am cool with it .... all i have to worry about having july 11 get here and i am done

LOL..i worked ever since i was 14..and stayed for the same company for a year and a half..i am relaxing now lol

the company i am with now is great and all but short on workers so i have to work .... the last 2 other companys i work for well they where pice of crap and treated their empolyees dirt

What field are you in?

i work for company called Expert Security

So like a security officer? thats cool

i love being security officer we have alot of fun doing escort for concerts and with this company we have more more respect from the company then security guard

security guard cant do anything but security officer can, we can carry cuffs and few things and also we can give out tickets .... security officer also can pretect and serve

Sounds like an awsome job!

it is great job .... $9/hour  and you work with great people if something happen they stand behind you and if you get into fight they join in and make sure you are ok and the fight stop .... i only been into 2 fights and it was ok lol seen better

Its good to like the people you work with. man it is like 3:46am..and i am not tired..and nobody is on :(

wouldnt miss it!

I have Saturday off so I think I'll go.

have to work until 8, but i will be there. just walk down to the end of the road.

 

I am probally going to river view park front to see it

No, this Ottawa boy isn't going to make it to Riverview for the oohs and aahhs. Alas.

I live within walking distance to the westend Ottawa sight where they put on a spectacular show. I have been twice to the Canada Day Fireworks here and leaving home with a couple bottles of water hiked the half-mile to the site. A seething mass of all humanity. Happy people, okay. Drunk people, not so much. Buskers, some good, some - don't give up your day job! Vandals, yeah, definitely not so much. Hustlers, yeah, so maybe definitely, not so much!

Maybe I just don't do so good in large crowds - my bad.

So this year, with the assistance of the local Dollar Store (and my present job which allows me to have a few Loonies left over every week) I have purchased about two dozen Bottle Rockets!

These are pyrotechnics of a different ilk.
One requires a Coke bottle to set them off.

The Bottle Rocket has a fire cracker shape about 8 inches long with a fuse and a bamboo stick extending from their bottom.
You light the fuse and drop them into a Coke bottle (7-8oz. variety). The bamboo stick holds them off the bottom of the bottle (with about a quarter of their total height breaching the opening of the bottle) while the fuse burns into the accelerator which launches the rocket into the sky. They usually reach about 75 to 90 feet before the accelerator burns through to the detinator. When it does, there is a very loud bang and a stunning flash.

Omygawd...please don't "tell on" my local Dollar Store!!!!
These fireworks are fun when used by the hands of a caring individual.

I am bordered by two baseball/socker parks seperated by a creek and live in an area of young families. The sports fields are about an acre each. A lot of my neighbours, who hate crowds or the youngins are just too young, show up after dusk, in the middle of the fields, to watch their own store-bought pyrotechnics, achieving the ooohs and aaaahs of a less than "crowded" venue.

This year, I will be there as well, just to add punctuation to their awesome shows. Bottle rockets and a Coke bottle, what could be simpler? I even think the Mrs. Macdoug will come out to wittness the celebration.

Please have a great Canada Day all my friends, of the Moncton Forum and please play safe. I would hate to hear of any injuries or misfortunes on such a wonderful occaision.

Happy Canada Day!

Hey Dougman, don't blow up the parleyment buildings. Hi Starry

Guy Fawks, I ain't.

Anyway, I figure if I wait long enough these politicians will simply burst spontaneously into flames for having the gall to lie, cheat and steal on such a regular basis. Remember who's in the lowest level of Hell, according to Dante? So why waste perfectly good and enjoyable pyrotechnics on them.

Where the? What the....where did that funky crown come from and what's with this Royalty fluff?

  we will be at the riverview park front.

I was going to go to the fireworks but i got invited to someones sweet 16, and it was awful. One guy got drunk and broke a window..*sigh* I wish i would have gone!
