Canada Day 2017: $2M Spent, $1.5M Not Made in Canada

Here are your tax payer dollars at work. The Canadian government spends $2M CAD on trinkets for Canada Day 2017, our 150th anniversary. $600k of this is purchased from Canadian companies. $1.15M is purchased from China. How revolting. We celebrate Canada Day by making celebratory purchases from another country? This money could have easily benefited fellow Canadians who are looking for work.

Canada Day 2011 at Milliken Park, Scarborough

There is nothing that gets Canadians together like Canada Day celebrations. I attended and participated in Canada Day celebrations at Thompson Park, Scarborough, Ontario. There was something for everyone. As to be expected the racial mix was all over the map, or globe. Still, the expression “Happy Canada Day” pulled everyone together. It really was an amazing feeling.

Canada Day is held every year on July 01. There are outdoor events at most large parks as well as fireworks at various locations in Toronto. Some years I feel lazy and do not attend, but really this is my family’s loss.
