...where are they??

Geez, hope Toronto does something fun for Cananda Day. Post here what are the best things to go and visit on Canada Day in TO. I have never been here for July 1st and, frankly, I'm disappointed with the lack of hype that TO has for Canada Day. Is it possible that Ottawa is a much better place?

Tell me what is there to do?

ahh Kafka is fantastic! I read "The metamorphosis" a while ago, and i've gotta go read it again! Machiavelli, definatly a must read too!! I haven't gotten around to reading Marx yet tough.. or Hobbes for that matter.. though I was eyeing "Leviathin" (sp?) at the shop =] maybe next time. I will definatly look out for Kant as well..

(sorry for going off topic too) =]
