The essay is somewhere in my parent's crawl space, but I can still remember many of the sentiments within. I am still proud to be a Canadian, and those sentiments still ring true today. We still have much to be proud about.
Honouring residential school children would have been better served on a day like National Aboriginal Day, June 21st. Rather than coming together today, we appear to have increased divisiveness among Canadians. Oh well. |
Thanks for that. You give me hope. That younger people still understand what being a Canadian is. On aside note, I hope our athletes do us proud this summer. Olympics.

Wooo vive la Canada
Happy Canada day
I was taking my trash and recycling out at 6am, noticed nobody else did, then remembered it was Canada day, so I brought the recycling back in, canadians don't recycle on Canada day (but they'll take out the trash)  | |

Now that Canada Day is over, I was wAndering........ what if Indigenous children were found in a gravesite somewhere in the US? Would people be calling for a hold on Fourth of July celebrations?
I already know the answer.............. HELL NO!!!!

I don't think it's a good idea to throw a party after finding graves of 100's of kids.
Also America is not a country we should be following.
