Happy birthday Canada, in 150 years you have turned your land into a place of freedom, democracy and equality.

[@bluzshadez]

From an aerial perspective, hundreds of people looked like ants. I love how they dispersed. It's as if they already consumed food and just left on different directions.

[@michaeljulien4274]

WINNIPEG at Portage Avenue and Main Street! What an amazing gathering and video! #CanadaDay150 # 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@perlkingneo]

[@dobby915]

Amazing...!

[@trudifruty6078]

Congratulations Canadians on your 150yrs. I shore do love your whiskey ( Crown Royal) Number One In My Book Of The Best Whiskey Ever Made. 👍👍

[@jabbermocky]

My Canadian Grandfather loved his Crown Royal. I am not partial to whiskey, myself, but I do long to repatriate myself to Canada some day. Unfortunately, even though my ancestors were among the first English settlers in Canada, I cannot afford to even visit the country anymore. America has bled me dry. Now I know why my grandfather never became an American citizen even after marrying an American and living in the USA for 40 odd years. Sigh.

I didn't think there where that many people in Canada

[@cloddiehoppers]

And yet, that was only in Winnipeg. You should see the populations in the bigger cities...like Toronto.

[@Stiegosaurus]

I guess that's what happens when your country has such a shit education system.

[@CodeLeeCarter]

I was walking past this anthill today and realised, there not Ants, there human beings playing as ants.

[@PunksterOS]

Damn, all those excuses made by the seemingly useless railway companies in Britain over the years, regarding closed lines due to leaves on the tracks, this must've been what they were going on about.
Sorry, I doubted them.

[@rioxx6401]

Punkster haha.. also those excuses they are real problems..

[@PunksterOS]

I know, it was only a _lame_ joke.

[@MahdSani]

[@Stiegosaurus]

From the sounds of it, your country will be first to implode.

[@theylied1776]

Silly BBC News, you spelled it wrong... it's Canadia not Canada.
