We Could Be Canadians

What if there were no Independence Day?

We Could Be Canadians

No War? On the Fourth of July, Santa Barbara unfurled the Stars and Stripes, burned hot dogs, swigged beer, and celebrated July 4 at the top of our patriotic lungs, but just think:

What if there were no Independence Day?

Not because we lost the Revolutionary War, but because there wasn’t one.
