A question arose at work today and I couldn't remember the answer. Canada recently had a birthday, so how old is this great country?

Dear Mark,
Living in Seattle, WA, I have the great pleasure of being able to spend quite a bit of time in Vancouver, BC. Ask any Canadian, such as my good friend Adam Drake (who lives in Vancouver), and they'll proudly tell you Canada is 132 years old and was founded in 1867. Plus, he pointed me in the direction of a very informative Canada-related Web page with plenty of historical facts.
