Happy Canada Day 🍁
-
Indigenous Canadian from northern Ontario here - Ojibway/Cree from northern Ontario.
Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian brothers and sisters, landed, immigrant, nation-born, First Nation, Arch-Linux-users, Metis, religious, non-religious, whatever denomination, Lemmy-user, Fediverse-user, corpo-Social-Media-user, straight, bi, none-sexual, LGBTQ++++, black, brown, white and every shade in-between.
We have our differences, we have our troubles, we have issues, good, bad and whatever … but at the end of the day we will always be national brothers and sisters who inhabit this land.
My parents were survivors of the Residential School system but they always celebrated Canada Day never knowing the politics or history … they just enjoyed having a fun day in the middle of summer. I’ve grown to learn lots of good and bad about Canada but in all that history, I may have grown negative and dark but at the same time, as I grow older, I also realize that we have to keep hope alive and always reach out to others, especially to any potential allies. We can create a country where we can all co-exist in a cooperative way that can be equally beneficial for every individual in this country. I will always hope for that.
So good day to you all!! Kitchi-Meegwetch Misiway (Thank you very much to everyone) Nee-nas-kah-moon! (I give my praises!)
Big hugs!
Happy Canada Day

Happy Canada day!
I hope everyone’s able to relax, enjoy some nice weather, and have a good refresh during this much needed break. I don’t know about anyone else but goodness gracious I really needed this.
Anyways I hope everyone’s days and week goes great for you!

Got rained out playing Slopitch this evening. Too bad for the game, but good for beer. Happy Canada Day ya hosers.

Went for a walk with the kids, went to the beach with the whole family. Bought Death Stranding and experimented with an IgAN friendly Chickpea and Cucumber salad! It was bland, but I guess that’s what you get when your kidneys don’t work so well and salt is off the table.

Looks good!

Started off watching the Blue Jays beat the Yankees (who better to beat on Canada day!)
Made homemade poutine for the family for supper.
Walked to the neighborhood Canada day block party. A teenage band was playing Tragically Hip songs when I arrived.
Later made myself a Ceaser (sadly, no celery - couldn’t find any that wasn’t US grown), and watched some TV with the wife.
All in all, a good day.

Hanging out with neighbours on the front porch with the BBQ blazing on the driveway. Hot dogs, Hamburgers, good company, and good spirits. Happy Canada everyone! So glad this is where I live.

Blew the turbocharger on my chore tractor, so I’ll be celebrating by spending $3900 at my local John Deere dealership tomorrow for a new one. Minus the $388 core, I guess.
At least it’s not one of the newer JDs that they won’t let you work on.

Have the day off work. Went to therapy. Having a couple pints at happy hour.
Wish I was there instead of a several hundred miles south of Winnipeg. This post deserves more upvotes.
several hundred miles south of Winnipeg.
That’s unfortunate. Stay safe down there.

Spent a moment at Kitsilano Beach it was unrecognizably crowded, which is great!
Got to reconnect with friends, play some games (finally some time for Civ 6, PEAK), enjoyed a day of rest.
It’s a good day to be proud of our country and proud of each other. With this confidence we should recognize the Indigenous roots of our country and write a new chapter in reconciliation and collaboration with our diverse population across our nation.

Land back, fuck Canada!

That’s overhyped. We have new stuff, we work on it without having to get techs out.

Lately I’ve been seeing some Mexican-grown celery in stores.
