Canada Day is a Canadian federal holiday to show off national pride and celebrate the country. July 1 was the chosen date because it was the day where three provincial states -- Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Canada province -- in Canada unified. The holiday was originally referred to as Dominion Day, a call back to the confederation of the individual provinces. The day is celebrated nation-wide.
