He was a Roman Emperor, not a Church Father. Augustine is known for much of Christianity's theology such as the doctrine of original sin.
Oh. I was thikning about Augustus the 1st. Well, anyway, Roman emperors are nearly the only things I knew in the West during that period.

I celebrate it too. Though I don't know if glatia meant 'Quebec's birthday' or 'Quebec's National Day'. In the latter case, well, there are two main cities where it's celebrated.

First comes Quebec City. On June 23, many people across the region go there. The party goes on on the Abraham plains or something like that. However, security is strong and costs a lot, since there are too many drunk-tards there.

Second is in Montreal, where I spend my vacations (being in the countryside during the school days is boring). It's more a family party there. June 24th, this time.You can see shows and such at the Olympic stadium, as well as on the Royal Mount. Though there are less drunk-tards there. There are still some beer bottles everywhere, no need for much security.

It sounds like it might be fun for families to get together, but it also sounds like a lot of people take it to be another excuse to get drunk. Good for the former; too bad for the latter.

Well, you also see some people during Canada Day getting drunk in Ottawa. Though this time, becuase of the royal couple, police was watching VERY closely.

Well, it's indeed quite a thing that number of drunkards, but oh well, there is fun anyway, but never went up to Québec city to celebrate it, just quite far from where I live so... about 3 hours from car or something similar.

Well, it's 3 hours from Montreal. And Montreal is about 1-1.5 hours from where I normally live.
