Please read the following statement from Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich–Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada, recognising Canada Day:
“I have always loved the Canadian narrative. Canada is beautiful in its diversity.
Our pride in our country is tempered with not the boasting and bullying bravado you get from the U.S., but about gratitude and renewed sense of care and concern for every other Canadian.
I would give up my life for this country any day of the week. This Canada Day, we’re celebrating the people, places and communties that make this country home. Here’s to a future that’s green, just, and built for everyone.”
