Umm, yeah-NO I don't think so....

[CUSO]

Petition looks to rename Victoria Day - News - MSN CA

If anything, it should be re-named "First long weekend of the summer day"

 

[Trashy]

Yup.......NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leave the name of the day alone.

 

[Summiteer]

Change the first Monday in Sept. to first Nations Peoples day, that'd be ironic, no?

 

[Open Season]

Can't theese people find anything better to do. Just leave it be.

 

[Joholio]

If I write what this makes me want to say it won't be good. Grr.

But that's part of the problem. People got to care and get their dander up.

Look at Christmas holidays, Easter, the Lord's Prayer, and all the other things that Canadians have given up because of political correctness and being laid back and not really putting up a "it you don't like it, move" kind of attitude.

I have absolutely nothing against any of the Aboriginal cultures but to lump them in with Queen Victoria's birthday celebration is not "Canadian", IMHO. That is not the way it is and not the way that day is celebrated, period.

When people are trying to change our traditions it does actually make me mad. I will call it being a proud Canadian.

National Aboriginal Day is June 21/13 and I have no problem with that. Today is and should remain to be called Victoria Day in honour of our queen. Enjoy your holiday people! I am!

No, if they petitioned to get another national stat holiday added to the calendar, that is something I could get behind. Call that whatever they want, but don't change a current tradition (especially to that ridiculously awkward name).

What have we lost? You can't celebrate Christmas or Easter the way you want to? A bunch of people whining about chit that doesn't matter.
What isn't Canadian? A British monarch, long dead? Or the people that were here long before Europeans set foot on this Continent? As for the lords prayer, you want your kids to pray, have them do it at home or Church...
I love arguing.......

 

[LUCKY 7]

what crap that is....leave it alone

 

[09 arctic cat m8]

nothing wrong with the lords prayer in class if anything we need that instead of passing out condoms like the school in town was,the only reason people hated it was because of the boat people i say to anybody if you dont like canada then get the f out

 

[imdoo'n]

Keep the personal beliefs at home. Those as such should be done in the privacy of your abode. You have the freedom to believe whatever, just don't be sticking it in my face.
