Yes, there is a 4th of july in every nation, (including canada) that uses the roman calendar as its base. In other nations that speak other languages it is called something else...France would be Juillet 4 I believe... There is a 5th of july and a 6th as well. Leap years can get tricky though...
independance days are different stories...Canada :
The year 2006 marks the 139th celebration of Canada Day, which commemorates the day that Canada became a nation. The holiday is observed on July 1 (unless that date falls on a Sunday, in which case Canada Day is observed the following day).
On July 1, 1867, the British North America Act united the British colonies of Upper Canada, Lower Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia into "one dominion under the name of Canada." These four colonies became Canada's first four provinces; Lower Canada was renamed Quebec, and Upper Canada was renamed Ontario.
The July 1 holiday was known as Dominion Day until October 27, 1982, when an act of parliament established the name Canada Day. The new name symbolized a step away from Canada's colonial past. The holiday had also sometimes been known as First of July or Confederation Day. Like Fourth of July festivities in the United States, Canada Day is celebrated with such summer pleasures as picnics, barbeques, and fireworks.
The name Canada derives from an Iroquoian word for "village," kanata, that French explorers heard used to refer to the area near present-day Quebec City. Today, Canada comprises ten provinces and three territories.

Canada day is July 1, and that is why the Friendship festival is July 1-4 between Buffalo and Ft. Erie.

Yes, it is the same day as our 4th of July. However it is not their independence day as the US is.
Canadian Independence day is July 1st.
Happy 4th of July!
