I've said elsewhere that I can understand why FN might not he super keen on Canada Day celebrations. From their perspective, it could look like a victory lap for genocide and colonialism. You might not agree with that perspective, but it's understandable why someone might feel that way.
It used to be called Dominion Day which was far worse. Why can't Canada Day symbolize and celebrate being Canadian of all walks of life in the present instead of it being some representation of the past. Call it Canadians Day then
