- Looking at the covid case count from China, its obvious they are full of shit. It's too bad the US is led by Trump doing petty BS with Canada with 3M and steel tariffs. Trump getting out of the TPP was a great thing for China. Canada needs to be more self sufficient. - Trudeau scolding Canadians for not social distancing is a bit comical. No stay at home order and not releasing the projections is an interesting move. - Trudeau not outright banning Huawei for their 5G technology is stupid. - The minority government won't be changing hands this year for sure. - Looking at a longer term view, how are we supposed to pay for the gigantic deficit with housing (probably) going down and oil way down. Taxes are going to go up. | ||

Cheers  I feel like there's an opportunity for a good dialogue here if we can drop our animosities (at least here and now), but I won't press it if you're uncomfortable or just not in the mood or whatever for trying that out. Like a lot of women's issues (where you noticed my change in tone) I don't know much about Canada (despite it being within reasonable driving distance) so I think that will help me come off less agitating since I'm just curious (and just a little irresponsibly ignorant imo, even for a 'Merican) and hopefully avoid any habit I have of being condescending to my opposition (or in this case just interlocutor). If you're interested you can let me know, otherwise, enjoy | ||

So, I do want to broach a sensitive topic so I'm going to be as considerate as I currently know how, and I just request you be as charitable as you can in interpreting my posts. If at any point you're not okay with the conversation for whatever reason (you don't need to include the reason) just let me know and I'll stop. We're here for Canada Day. That inspired a curiosity. In the US (forgive my references to it but it's my frame of reference) we have Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day and Juneteenth/the 4th of July. Is there a similar dynamic (assuming you're familiar with it) in Canada between an Indigenous Peoples Day and Canada Day from your perspective? | ||

My outside impression (I did a little reading while I was waiting  ) is that the "Cancel Canada Day" thing resembles more of Columbus Day/Indigenous People's day than the 4th of July/Juneteenth dynamic. A day that's more about confronting the current/historical circumstances for Indigenous peoples and opposition to celebrating a "disneyfied" creation story than a day of significance for the Indigenous peoples themselves. Various tribes/bands in the US have varying relations with both state and federal governments and gives them different perspectives on Columbus Day/the treaties* and it appears there may be a similar thing at play there. WEN is hilarious (in as much as it's appropriate for me to laugh anyway) btw | ||
