HAPPY CANADA DAY TO YOU ALL!

Indigenous Canadian here. I advocate for my community and my family on all the things that Canada has done to us in the past. I remind people of all of that and some of it is terrible history.

I'll still remind people today ..... but at the same time I do know that this is a great country and many people are trying to come to terms with the past. I've been to many countries in the world .... over 30 countries ... so I know that we live in a great country.

My dad attended residential school and he was miserable and terrorized there .... but before he died and all through his life, he always enjoyed Canada Day because it was a day to make it fun for us kids. We can remember the politics but we can still celebrate the significance of what this country is and continues to be.

SO HAPPY CANADA DAY TO YOU ALL!

Great perspective. Unfortunately we can't change the past. We can only do what we can to help the people, the environment, alive today and that will live tomorrow. We have to uncover and keep the knowledge of the past to inform what and how we do.

Thank you for your perspective. This day is still celebratory to me but it definitely invites more reflection and awareness than ever before. I hope fellow Canadians are also pausing today to reflect on our past, both good and bad, and the values we want to hold as we move forward.

From an indigenous Canadian .... our two countries share a lot of history together ... we are like quarrelsome siblings that always know we love each other ... Happy Canada Day and Happy Independence Day!

Happy Canada Day! Never vote for conservatives/neo liberals that want to tear our country down and turn us into the USA.

Happy Canada Day. I had Poutine for lunch and it was great.

Happy Canada Day! I was born and raised in this country, but I don't feel 'Canadian' for some reason. I know this is a great country and we have it pretty good here, but I just can't help it.

Happy Canada Day!

Brit here (sorry about, well, everything)- how do you guys celebrate?

Whatever you get up to, hope you enjoy πŸŽ‰

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Mostly spend time with family and friends. Usually there are big gatherings in most cities or towns and fireworks. Do you have anything similar (big national holiday)?
