Happy Canada Day

For those of us who live south of the Canadian border, July 1st is just another average day of the week. We’re busy counting down the days until the 4th when we celebrate America’s Independence Day, where we will gather with friends at parties, enjoy barbecue, and watch some amazing firework shows. But for Canadians, July 1st is more than just an average day of the week. July 1st is Canada Day. But what exactly is Canada Day?

Your Guide to a Festive Fourth of July Party

The Fourth of July is almost here! All around America, families, friends, and neighbors will gather together to celebrate their nation’s independence.

With that in mind, we gathered resources to help you pull off a perfect Fourth of July party. Whether you’re looking for inspiration for food, decor, activities, music, or need to brush up on your American history, you’ll find resources in this list to help you pull it off without a hitch.

The Thin Blue Line is an important cultural symbol whose meaning often goes unknown. You’ve probably seen it incorporated in bumper stickers—a rectangular, simple design that features a blue line placed between two black fields—but what does it mean? Is there even real meaning to it? Why would someone put this symbol on their vehicle?

For starters, the Thin Blue Line emblem isn’t just a bumper sticker; it carries much more meaning than that. From divers congregating behind a shared symbol, the Diver Down flag, to entire countries rallying behind their national flags a source of unity, people use emblems and symbols to establish their identity as part of a group. The Thin Blue Line is no different. It’s the calling card for its own special group, law enforcement. At its core, the Thin Blue Line is a symbol of solidarity for police officers and their families.
