Guess it depends on where you live. When I was living in the Lower Rainland™, fireworks were par for the course. Scared the Hell out of my poor dog, who wouldn’t stop shaking in terror until about 3 AM.
Here in Edmonton, as far as I know, it was never a tradition.
Fireworks are legal in most of Canada. Firecrackers have been illegal here for decades.
There were fireworks whenever First Night was held downtown. I went to one 30 years ago and they were fired off in Churchill Square.
Down here loving it in Montana
All the fireworks stands open
No masks anywhere
Wishing everyone on sda a happy New Years
Invented a Karen song…
Do a do a do…
Don’t touch me.
A do a do a do…
Don’t touch me.
Do a do a do…
Don’t touch me.
A do a do a do…
Sorry, that’s as far a I’ve gotten.
I recall many a New Years when at Midnight a dull roar would overtake Vancouver, N. & W Van, Burnaby…and,Richmond as EVERYONE WENT outside with pots n pans and made one hell of a racket, accented by every anchored ship in the harbour…!!
Have never seen that in all the years Ive lived in Calgary…but, I garantee ya, If I’m still cognizant of being alive at Midnight…??? I got me a few pots n pans to bang..,!!
JoJo…that cost me Spewed Glenlivit…..LMAO..!! Great way to get me into new yrs..tks
…hell man, Haven’t even fired up a doob yet..!!
Damn, 5 min later and I’m still laffin…
Cheers
love his accent

If you are into archery you need to see his work
Nothing can compare with the 3-neighbors whose gardeners fired-up their leaf blowers simultaneously at 8am this morning. No Holidays for the hard working
In Detroit we use 9mm.
Considering how hard it is to find 9mm, wouldn’t fireworks be way cheaper?
The loudest noise I heard was about 40 years ago, I was in charge of a (logging) road construction crew and a D8 was up against a couple of house-sized (basalt) boulders in a narrow but steep walled valley. Rather than move a drill rig 30 km and lose a days production, we “sand blasted” (placed the explosives on top of the boulders unconfined) with 22 bags (1210 lbs) of ANFO (ammonium nitrate and fuel oil). I was 1/4 mile away when it detonated. It was deafening and echoed multiple times. When we returned after the blast, the boulders appeared unaffected but as soon as the corner bit of the U-blade came in contact, the rock crumbled and fell apart into useable road surface material.
Loudest sound i ever heard apart from a Vulcan bomber tear assing around Plymouth Sound in the late sixties was when we were laying a new pipeline across a remote part of the local moor and a guy i was working with took a 10 foot length of 4 inch plastic pipe capped the ends and fitted an inlet valve and filled it with a mixture of oxy/acetylene he lit one end of a piece of paper which he twisted into a rudimentary fuse and ran like buggery ,the thing went off bits of sharp edged plastic went flying everywhere and by god my i swear you could see the pressure wave expanding through a weird mist, my mates eyeballs shook and our helmets went flying i was as deaf as the proverbial post for a good few minutes afterwards,to say it didn’t go unnoticed would be an understatement there were reports of the sound being heard in Exeter which was a good 15 miles away.
Interesting side note, in a number of EU countries it’s illegal to fire a gun without a sound suppressor.
