Happy Canada Day from Canada South (aka Minnesota)!
Come back proud Canadians, to before we had tv. No hockey night in Canada, there was no CBC...
I like the CBC

O Canada! You will have my heart and gratitude forever β₯οΈ
Oh we have been getting plenty of Canada these days, foggy conditions everywhere.
Happy Canada Day!!!
LOL I remember people trying to build leaf on Canada's flag during Reddit Place. 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.
Anything that challenges the status quo is inevitably going to make some people uncomfortable.
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.
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%20on%20July%201%2C%20Dominion,longer%20permitted%20to%20enter%20Canada.
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.
I would tend to agree with everything in the article. Be careful about calling anyone who downvotes you a bigot though...sowing division is ultimately not helpful. Canada was and is built on a very ugly foundation and some people will have a lot of trouble accepting that, but the people need to unite as a collective to make it a better place, not polarise ourselves (i.e. like the US).
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
