Not because of COVID-19, but because of the recent wave of residential school uncovering.

I personally plan on taking the time this year to learn more about reconciliation with indigenous people and save the partying and BBQing for next year.

This is an interesting question because legally our independence was not formally ratified until the passing of the Constitution Act of 1982, which was when we fully patriated the Canadian constitution and enacted the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

But July 1 as a national holiday just makes it a lot easier to remember.

I'm going to barbecue something, but that's it. Even without covid restrictions, celebrations I feel would be a bit muted. Shit, I've got native friends that still refer to us as settlers and colonists.
