This Good Friday, let's reflect on the significance of this solemn day. In Canada, Good Friday marks the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, a time for many to contemplate sacrifice, compassion, and renewal. As we pause to honor this day, we're reminded of the importance of empathy and kindness. From all of us at Tippet Richardson, may your Good Friday be filled with peace and reflection. #goodfriday #Holidays #movinghouse #movingcompany #internationalmoving #globalmobility #Canada #toronto #torontorealestate #relocation #BusinessRelocation #torontocanada #immigration #longdistancemoving #movingtouk #overseas #movingtousa #localmovers #movingtoeurope #europe #australia #movingtoaustralia #unitedkingdom #usa #IAM #PIAMA #BBB #recordsmanagement #tippetrichardsontoronto #tr1927

Canada Day commemorates the British North America Act of 1867, which united three British colonies into the Dominion of Canada. Initially known as Dominion Day, the holiday became official in 1879. Historian Forrest Pass explains that the date was chosen for administrative reasons rather than revolutionary significance. Early celebrations were spontaneous and locally organized, often inspired by American Independence Day traditions. The festivities included a 'Dominion Salute' of one gun for each province, mirroring the American 'Federal Salute.' It wasn't until 1982 that Dominion Day was officially renamed Canada Day, reflecting a shift in national identity. This change paralleled other national symbols, such as the adoption of the maple leaf flag in 1965 and "O Canada" as the national anthem in 1980. Today's celebrations highlight Canada's multicultural and bilingual nature, moving away from its British colonial roots. Ottawa, the nation's capital, hosts significant celebrations on Parliament Hill. The Royal Canadian Air Force often features prominently in the festivities, adding to the patriotic atmosphere. Live musical performances and fireworks displays are common, with Canadians across the country participating in various local traditions, from barbecues to pancake breakfasts. Canada Day is a time for Canadians to come together and celebrate their shared heritage and evolving national identity.

There are lots of things I appreciate about life in the place we call Canada 🍁: > I am grateful that I live in a country where I can love whom I chose to love. > I am grateful that I live in a country where I can make a post like this without fear of prosecution. > I am grateful that I live in a country with a charter of rights and freedoms that are upheld by a (mostly) non-partisan legal system. > I am grateful that I live in a country where I was taught to think critically and have these important conversations. > I am grateful that I live in a country where basic healthcare is still universal, though I fear we are heading in a direction where that will no longer be the case. There are things worth celebrating. However, there are several reasons I wont be celebrating Canada Day. Here are some of them: 1. Canada is stolen land. As much as we talk about truth and reconciliation, we haven’t come anywhere close to acknowledging the truth of this and the lasting impact of historical and ongoing colonization on Indigenous nations. Celebrating a national identity that only exists as a product of stolen land is incongruent with efforts to acknowledge this truth. 2. Canadian values are an unrealized ideal. We have done an excellent job of portraying ourselves as an inclusive, peace keeping, social welfare promoting, progressive nation. Ideals we have historically failed to live up to. Ideals we are currently not living up to. These ideals are more often weaponized as part of anti-immigrant exclusionary rhetoric than they are enacted into our domestic and foreign policy. 3. Nationalism is a dangerous sentiment. While it could be used to invoke sentiments of collective care, it is more often used to dehumanize and dissociate from the suffering of those deemed as “others,” “foreign,” or “alien”. Nationalism is often called upon to justify the hoarding of resources, imperial expansionism and muted responses to global crises. We need to cautiously approach any celebration of national identity as potentially advancing this problematic ideology that obscures our shared humanity. 4. As Canadians we have been poor stewards of this land. Canada Day celebrations are often emblematic of this. Why celebrate the land we call home by producing air and land pollution on a mass scale 🎆? Why not celebrate our home by calling on regulatory changes to the mining, oil and gas industries including a nationwide ban on fracking. 5. This year I’m also aware of our federal government’s failure to acknowledge and appropriately respond to the violence in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan, Haiti and Nigeria. Canada’s ongoing failure to boldly promote peace in these regions, using all the tools available to us, is our collective embarrassment and shame. So whether you choose to celebrate Canada Day or not, let’s all collectively work to be better. To call on our leaders to do better. To create a collective identity that just might be worthy of celebration.

Today as we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day, we reflect on the many contributions Indigenous people have made to Canada. As an organization and as individuals, we recognize and respect: - The diversity of Indigenous cultures and worldviews and their roles in Canada’s past, present, and future. - Our collective responsibility to share natural resources revenues and close gaps in socio-economic conditions between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. - Our role in the journey towards reconciliation by advancing Indigenous knowledge systems in all our work. - Our privilege to live, work, and play on Indigenous land. 

As July 1st quckly approaches and all of the festivities begin for Canada Day, it's crucial to reflect on what this day represents, especially from the perspective of Indigenous communities. For many Indigenous people, July 1st brings a complex mix of emotions—honoring resilience, acknowledging ongoing challenges, and advocating for reconciliation. Canada Day marks more than just a national holiday; it symbolizes a history of colonization and its impact on Indigenous lands, cultures, and identities. It's a day to recognize the diverse Indigenous nations that have stewarded these lands since time immemorial. This year, let's use Canada Day as an opportunity for meaningful reflection and action. Let's amplify Indigenous voices, support Indigenous-led initiatives, and commit to the ongoing journey of reconciliation. Together, we can build a Canada where Indigenous rights, cultures, and contributions are fully recognized and respected. #CanadaDay #IndigenousPerspectives #Reconciliation #RespectIndigenousRights

Canada Day is approaching, and amidst the whirlwind of politics and modern issues, I find myself reflecting on our nation. Canada, in many ways, is like a teenager—still young, finding its path in the world. This reminds me of my own teenage years, a time of chaos and growth. Remember those days, Mom? What a ride! What grounded me, and likely many of us during those tumultuous years, was the love and support of those who saw us at our best—unafraid, creative, and full of life. They saw our potential, dreaming of our bright futures even when we couldn’t. They reminded us of our worth and kept hope alive. As Canadians, we must be that support for our country. We must embody the change we wish to see and hold onto our best vision for this incredible nation. Rise for your home. Stand with your neighbors who share the same dreams of safety and prosperity. Advocate for the reality we know is possible, not just the one we see today. We are all change makers. As our country navigates through its challenges, let’s start the conversation on how to steer her back on course. Let's rise up for our home. #CanadaDay2024 #RiseForHome #StandTogether #CanadianPride #HopeForCanada #UnitedWeStand #ChangeMakers #CommunityStrength #VisionForTheFuture #LoveForCanada
