Today marks Canada’s 150th anniversary and as expected the Canadian expats in Dubai are out in force (or taking to their keyboards) to celebrate the big day.

Being far from home on a national day, people tend to become more patriotic as proved by the approximately 40,000 Canadian expats living in Dubai. People and businesses alike are celebrating the big day…

There’s nothing like a bit of national pride..

Weslodge, the hip Canadian eatery at the JW Marriott are giving prizes to the best patriotically dressed this evening

The rumours swirling the net that KFC Canada have changed their name to K’eh FC for just today are apparently true and you can’t help but laugh when a company as huge as KFC doesn’t take itself too seriously.
