Anti-Canada Day Events Urge Rethink Of Colonial, Anti-Black Histories

Canada Day was called Dominion Day until 1982. In the 19th century, anyone who wasn’t British, Anglo-Saxon and Protestant was seen as a stain on the country, Thompson said. She also notes that Victoria Day used to be called Empire Day, also owing to Canada’s British roots.

“Yes, Canada is a great country, but can we at least acknowledge that some of its greatness is built on the backs of people who are still being disenfranchised?” she said. “That statement does not negate Canada being a great country. It only acknowledges its greatness is a result of people who otherwise go unseen and heard.”

Mi’kmaq women will lead the July 1 events in Halifax, N.S., called No Justice On Stolen Land. The afternoon will feature interactive workshops that cover treaties, policing, the history of the RCMP, and missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. El Jones, an educator and community activist, said organizing events on Canada Day was a natural fit for current conversations about racism.

Absolutely👌

and it’s “current” racism 🙄

Applies to everyone everywhere.

Promoting an anti-Canada narrative on Canada Day is getting close to treason don't you think?

Your globalist narrative is already failing. People see through fake news and more are waking up every day. Happy Canada Day to all true Patriots who have the courage to stand up and speak truth against the marxist narrative 🇨🇦

Applies to all countries.

And I do

“…greatness is built on the backs of people who are still being disenfranchised?“ You don’t get to claim somebody else’s suffering because they LOOK like you.

FFS just stop with this stupidity. We can’t change the past, nor is trying to erase it logical either. We learn from it and we move forward and we do better. It’s typical that a good movement or idea gets hijacked by the fanatics. STOP!

Canada JustinTrudeau liberal_party ... You know, I have never heard of 'Anti-Canada Day events' until this year, under a Trudeau Liberal government. Why is that do you suppose? And why is the MSM promoting them? The Trudeau Liberals, divisive and intolerant. TrudeauMustGo

Because Canada is the most racist country in the world. That's why we have a net immigration inflow in the hundreds of thousands and turn most people away. Because it's such a bad place to live.

I’ll assume these people aren’t accepting CERB or unemployment and are paying their own medical bills!

'Kind of epic': Lots of options to celebrate virtually this Canada DayThere will be glowing hearts in the True North for Canada Day, but the celebrations in our home and native land will be less free this year. Epic xD The virtual fireworks thing both depresses and excites me at the same time. Cancel the holiday if you can't celebrate it properly.
