That’s it, just wanted to send it out there, hosers 🍁 🤗
I love Canada! <3 happy Canada day!
Just going to leave this here.
Edit: bring on the downvotes, makes you bigots easier to block.
You’re not helping anything. Shit like that just builds resentment.
Shit like that just builds resentment.
Only in people who would resent others for wanting equity and equality (in their country!!!), so you’re saying much more about yourself there than you are about me, while helping absolutely no one (apart from perhaps the people who published that article, because you do prove them right, so not entirely useless I suppose), so as is always the case with bigots, your stance seems to be projection all the way down.
Editing here because I can’t seem to respond further - in other words what you’re saying is indigenous people advocating for themselves and explaining in depth and with great sensitivity why they would appreciate you, a coloniser of their land, celebrating in different ways that perhaps take in to account the centuries of continued marginalisation they endure, are in fact making themselves the other.
Not you, literally resenting them for “ruining” your “fun day” while wilfully choosing to completely ignore them speaking up for themselves (I guarantee you didn’t read through the linked article or put your bias around the subject aside for even a millisecond) in favour of maintaining your own comfort in the way things are.
I’ll give you one thing - that mental gymnastics would almost be impressive, if it wasn’t the same bullshit every bigot pulls when faced with even the slightest request of change to the status quo.
It’s a shame you can’t see how pathetic you look from the outside.
I’m done engaging with you, bigot.Anything that challenges the status quo is inevitably going to make some people uncomfortable.
That article really just convinces me more that the cancel canada day movement is naive and misguided.
Don’t take and sully our national day. Instead choose to enrich and improve it by making it more. There is room for both national pride on our Country and acknowledgement of past crimes.
Respectfully, fuck off.
You’re a fake ram
Thank you for sharing, I found that to be a good resource. I also recently learned that July 1st 1923 is when the federal government passed the Chinese Exclusion Act (link below). https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/governments/multiculturalism-anti-racism/chinese-legacy-bc/history/discrimination/federal-exclusion-act#:~:text=Passed on July 1%2C Dominion,longer permitted to enter Canada.
I really wonder what life would be like here if Turtle Island wasn’t violently and systematically colonized.
Thank you for the link too, I had heard about the terrible treatment the Chinese were subject to in the US, but had not known (but not really surprised) that Canada was up to the same crap.
And yeah, I wonder that too. I think the best we can do now is listen to those who survived it despite the continued attempts to erase their cultures, and learn from them.
Happy Canada D’eh from a lawn chair near or far from you!
Happy Canada day with love from Canada
Happy Canada Day to you all. Avec <3 du Quebec
Happy Canada Day. I had Poutine for lunch and it was great.
Happy Canada Day all!
Happy Canada Day from Canada South (aka Minnesota)!
Happy Canada day! <3 from USA
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 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! Currently sitting on the grass beside the Brockville Farmers Market.
No better way to celebrate the country we live in than to touch the earth we all enjoy!
We don’t spend enough time sitting on the ground.
Happy moving day! From Montréal 🤗
mon ami, bonne fête du Canada!
Come back proud Canadians, to before we had tv. No hockey night in Canada, there was no CBC…
I like the CBC
Happy Canada Day!
Brit here (sorry about, well, everything)- how do you guys celebrate?
Whatever you get up to, hope you enjoy 🎉
