No. Canada day is a set of beliefs and ceremony based around nationalism. It's a nationalist holiday.
Halloween I'll admit is more of a blurred line.
Once again, I don't think I've ever mentioned that you have to say Happy Holidays. However, if you expect every person to say Merry Christmas to you back, I think you've crossed a line. If your getting offended by someone acting awkwardly when you greet them with a greeting about Christ's Mass, the problem is with you. Similarly, if some people choose to say Happy Holidays, that's their choice too.
