Happy Centiquadragintennial Canada!
July 1st, 2007 | by MadHacktress |Today is Canada Day here in the Dominion of Canada. It is the day that we celebrate our Canadianness.
I have often found Canada Day - or Dominion Day, which I prefer - to be in stark contrast to make other “independence-type” days in other nations. Friends of mine who know my activist spirit who are from nations other than Canada (read: the U.S.) have asked if I attend protests on Canada Day.
Hardly.
Perhaps it is due to the fact that we didn’t really fight for our independence from Britain, rather we asked and they said “cheerio” - or something equally as British.
Whether tomorrow we call ourselves native, French, Ontarian or Western-Canadian, today is the day when we are all Canadian.
