On Cancelling Canada Day

 

There are many calls in the media to cancel Canada Day this year, because of the unmarked graves of Indian children found in Kamloops and Marieval recently.

I am pleased to see a new Leger Poll finds no support for the idea. Scott Adams regularly observes that, no matter what cockamamie question you ask the shuffling public, a steady 20-25% will vote for anything. But not even this lunatic fringe is on the bandwagon for the cancel-Canada-Day parade. Asked the question. “do you feel with all the questions about Canada and its historical record, it would be best to cancel Canada Day this year?” only 14% answered yes. Even though salesmen say when forced to choose, people always prefer to say “yes” than “no.”

The ruling elite has gone stark bonkers. Canadians in general remain resolutely sane. In fact, this smells like a popular tsunami lurking just below the surface.
