Thanks David! July 1st 1867 is the official date the Canadas became 'the Dominion of Canada', and up until the Liberals worked their inevitable evil this date used to be called 'Dominion Day'. Some (including myself) still refer to it as such, which generates all sorts of interesting replies from people...

That roadsign you mentioned... would it be happier with an MLU sticker by chance? We could arrange same...
