Canada day - bah humbug

Quoted from a Facebook friend who is far more articulate then I am:

This year, I am not celebrating Canada Day. I am not proud of my country right now. During the Harper regime (or as we will hopefully call it eventually - interregnum) we have sat and watched our elected leaders remove protections for our environment, extol profit over community, muzzle scientists, state categorically that oil and business interests trump human rights, lie to our faces and get away with it, and treated our international and internal promises, ties and commitments like jokes, along with the democratic process.

And as a nation, we have, for the most part, simply shrugged our shoulders and accepted it as though we had no say.

Not really very proud today.
