^ Yes but how many of those will require that you be lectured on how you are a thief and a loser in order to watch the fireworks?!

Can't hear the speeches watching the fireworks from Bear Mountain, thank god.

On July 1 around noon there were two canoes being spasmodically paddled near Ship Point. Council, presumably. I feared that a rogue wave might tip them into the cold water and suck them out to sea, thus depriving us forever of their wise management. Fortunately this didn’t happen.

Just over a month before the big event, organizers of this year’s Canada Day festivities on the legislature lawn have found a new presenting sponsor.
EF International Language Campuses has stepped in to take on the job, after last year’s main sponsor, Central Walk Holdings Ltd., owners of Mayfair Shopping Centre, announced last month it would not be back.
While the cost of presenting sponsorship was not confirmed, it’s believed to be about half the $250,000 cost of putting on the event.
“We’re very pleased, and EF is a great organization — this is a really good fit for us,” said Douglas Smith, managing partner for Blue Coast Event Group, producer of the show, which is organized by the non-profit Penmar Community Arts Society. “As multicultural as Canada has become and as diverse as we want to make Canada Day, it’s just a fantastic partner to have.

Yeah, odd. Academia doesn't like to talk about how it impacts the housing markets in the community's it operates international programs in.

Maybe just in time for Canada Day?
Bonnie Crombie wants feds to change O Canada lyrics for reconciliation | Toronto Sun
Bonnie Crombie wants changes to the national anthem to advance reconciliation.
During Wednesday’s Mississauga council meeting, the city’s mayor and potential provincial Liberal leadership candidate plans to put forward a motion to ask the federal government to change “our home and Native land” to “our home on Native land.”
This comes after singer Jully Black made a change to the lyrics while singing O Canada at the NBA all-star game. The change was lauded by some, vilified by others.
The motion says “the new wording represents a truth which is critical to the understanding of present-day Canada and that such a change is consistent with the federal government’s commitment to reconciliation.”
Indigenous groups praised Black when she sang the change to the anthem.

I thought that the term "natives" was derogatory?
I also thought that the term "native" in the anthem referred to the actual oxford definition of "native" which meant the place we were born and not anything to do with FN.
