If the goal is to make Canada more inclusive, how is that achieved by cancelling Canada Day?
At the Forks in Winnipeg, there will be no Canada Day this year. Instead, there will be a new day called, unimaginatively enough, New Day.
Don’t worry, the traditional speeches by politicians will still be offered. So if you’re more than a little masochistic, and speeches are the main Canada Day attraction for you, you’ll still get your fill of politicos’ pontifications. And what if, in the process of cancelling Canada Day, organizers alienate people who are proud of the country and like the annual celebration? Don’t those people deserve to be included in the official inclusiveness, too?
Edmonton is going ahead with its Canada Day events. Vancouver, too. And both of those cities have Indigenous populations in the range of Winnipeg’s.
