Happy Canada Day from the Kuriousity-folk! Hope all fellow Canadians are enjoying another yearly ritual of wearing our pride under a sea of brightly coloured fireworks, among other festivities your own local area is throwing to celebrate our country’s 143rd birthday. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else – I adore my country… even if they did just raise taxes on Canada Day – but even so!

In Canadian anime/manga news today – Fan Expo has opened it’s registration for the August convention and Animinitime, a single-day convention coming up mid-July, closes it’s pre-registration today along with some prize giveaway draws.

Looking for some fun Canadian content for this special day? Be sure you have a copy of Svetlana Chmakova’s DramaCon on your shelf, Faith Erin Hick’s upcoming Brain Camp on order and Bryan Lee O’Malley’s upcoming final volume of Scott Pilgrim etched firmly in the ‘does-want-now’ part of your brain – to name a very short few.

Now if you’ll excuse me, there’re some good books to read, friends to see and fireworks to ogle at like a 5 year old and love it. Happy Canada Day!
