Very mixed feelings about Canada Day. On the one hand we have a lot to be proud of as Canadians. LGBTQ rights come first to mind as something where we've led the world (fantastic!-keep going). However, we have much to be embarrassed about and those issues merit sober reflection. Our track record regarding First-Nations treaty rights for instance; or our rather dismal environmental record bears considerable scrutiny. I would prefer to see Canada Day, not as an opportunity for rah rah unbridled nationalism; but rather an chance to see where we are, how far we've come, and where we need to head. Nationalism without reflection is a dangerous business.
