Happy Canada Day.

Happy Canada Day!

But are you happy?

That might depend on where your politics lie, according to a poll that came out this week.

Does your concern for where the country and the community is heading get in the way of your patriotism?

And how much do you really know about Canada? Another poll this week found most Canadians would flunk the citizenship test.

Based on our online traffic this week, you might want to chat about the B.C. Home Owner Grant or perhaps you'd like to talk about whether sunbathing topless in your backyard constitutes nudity under the Criminal Code?

And then there's that national award the City of Prince George won this week for government secrecy. The city says it's working to improve transparency and the three city councillors who answered our requests for comments said city council needs to step up to improve transparency. What do you think?

As usual, all comments are moderated before they appear.

The floor is yours.
