July 1st is Canada Day, a day where we celebrate our great country.
00:00:07.040
However, in the last two years Canada has made headlines worldwide for its discriminatory
00:00:13.200
vaccine mandates that banned people who chose not to take the COVID-19 vaccine
00:00:18.960
not only from planes and trains but also from leaving the country.
00:00:23.680
The Canadian government also cracked down on peaceful Freedom Convoy protests in February
00:00:31.360
by invoking the Emergencies Act to forcefully remove the demonstrators.
00:00:37.440
Many still see a purpose in celebrating Canada Day and I wanted to ask some freedom-loving
00:00:43.680
Canadians that were out in Ottawa for the arrival of James Taub and for the celebrations of Canada Day
00:00:51.680
why it's important to still celebrate our great country.
00:00:55.840
No leader can take the gift that we have of living in Canada.
00:01:01.440
Sure, we're going through hard times, dark times, but it's a day collectively to
00:01:08.320
have a beer, have a cup of coffee, talk with our neighbours and build back and these divisions.
00:01:16.880
To me it's dialogue that's needed in this country and so to me Canada Day is an invitation for that.
00:01:25.280
I've been working for 40 years, I still am, I work with you know as a street worker in Ottawa.
00:01:32.960
Canada has a lot of good stuff, let's celebrate that.
00:01:36.400
I think we should be celebrating Canada Day all the more with more fervour and more patriotism
00:01:45.920
because our government cancelled Canada Day for two years and we didn't see the reason, there was no reason.
00:01:56.320
We're Canadians, that's why we should not, if we let our corrupt government push us and not go, they won.
00:02:06.880
We need everybody, I don't care which side you are on, the left, the right, the blue, the red, I don't care.
00:02:12.880
We're still Canadians to begin with and we still have to go to Parliament.
00:02:16.960
I was not going to go and a lot of, I see a lot of people and a lot of support so I am going to go you know.
00:02:23.600
Canada is all about freedom, you know, freedom is our nationality as they say and people should
00:02:27.680
be able to celebrate that. We were up on Parliament Hill earlier in the day and it doesn't feel very
00:02:33.600
free up there, there's so many police and all the gates and whatnot and it's like quiet and hushed and
00:02:39.280
it just doesn't feel like a free country when you're walking around there so hopefully you know
00:02:43.840
people can celebrate you know in their own way and be respectful but enjoy the day and celebrate
00:02:50.320
the country that we all live in. Well hopefully to restore some national pride because with the
00:02:55.680
globalists in charge of this for so long and they've made us feel ashamed of our country and we
00:03:00.400
shouldn't, we shouldn't at all so come here and celebrate it again. I'm a true patriotic Canadian.
00:03:08.160
When I sing the national anthem, I sing it with pride. When I hear it sung at a hockey game, I'll
00:03:14.320
stand up in my own living room because that's what Canada represents to me. Freedom and all the lyrics
00:03:21.200
that are in that song. True, no strong and free. God keep our land glorious and free. So celebrating
00:03:28.880
Canada Day amidst all this negativity is more important because nobody's going to take my joy, nobody's going
00:03:36.480
to take my truth. I'm going to live my life and live my truth like everybody else is allowed under
00:03:41.520
the sun with all their agendas. To live in spirit and in truth should not be held against you and that's
00:03:51.200
what I feel. In conclusion Canada Day is a great day that we should still celebrate. May God keep our land
00:03:59.760
glorious and free. For True North, I'm Émilie Canté-Nantel.
