The goal is to make Canada more comprehensive If so, how it was achieved by canceling Canada Day.
At Winnipeg Forks, there is no Canada Day this year. Instead, there is an unimaginably new day called the New Day.
Forks is traditionally the largest celebration of Canada Day in Manitoba, as Winnipeg attracts more than 4 million visitors annually.
But this year, instead of bands and fireworks, there will be days dedicated to reflection, inclusion, and "fun for everyone" (according to the Forks website).
Don't worry, traditional speeches by politicians will continue to be provided. So even if you're a little masochistic and speech is the main attraction of Canada Day to you, you'll still meet the lessons of politicians.
But what if you're proud of Canada, warts, and everything else? What if you want to blow off the midsummer steam a bit, admit that the country is wrong (but not stick to it), and be happy that the country has done it right?
Let's create a festival where inclusion ideas showcase the many cultural contributions to Canada's country and help them understand and respect each other by having fun together. What if you were to? It's not an event that sounds like wearing a hair shirt and purifying whipping.
And what if in the process of canceling Canada Day, the organizers are proud of the country and keep away those who like the annual celebration? Those people also do not deserve to be included in the official inclusiveness.
Or only those who accept the "awakened" version of our country's history to host the July 1st event.
If the politically correct Crusaders discourage the coming of those who believe they need the most education, we don't know how inclusiveness and reconciliation are going on. ..
Edmonton is running an event for Canada Day. Vancouver too. And both of these cities have indigenous peoples in the range of Winnipeg.
Edmonton's attitude is, "Canada Day is a coalition anniversary and provides time for sadness, learning, remorse, understanding the truth, and progress towards reconciliation." is. But also to celebrate. together.
Vancouver states that the C-Day event aims to "weave the structure of the country."
We held Indigenous Peoples Day (widely known as Orange Shirt Day). September will commemorate the second National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (or national surfing, as the Prime Minister calls). 'Tofino Day).
These two monuments are much better suited for consideration and contemplation of issues such as how to overcome the still very realistic fallout from the housing school system.
Canada Day would be even more helpful if you could teach us how to enjoy together, enjoy each other's companies, share a country and have a good time. I think. that.
White "progressivists" were set aside because they defeated themselves for colonial crime and refused to see the good done by European settlers. We may welcome yet another day. However, ordinary Canadians need to have a party once in a while.
What's more, our country deserves more respect than another official day when its achievements are minimized and even despised.
Are there any remaining problems (actually serious problems)? of course. We must always work to ensure fairness, equality and justice for all. All countries are.
Canada is an ongoing work.
But getting rid of Canada Day is like the Trudeau government raising a half-mast for months to admit death in a housing school. After all, it was counterproductive.
