I hope the thousands of people who plan to attend Canada celebrations on Parliament Hill go over to the protest, listen to what the protestors have to say and then...go on enjoying themselves. Certainly, we must acknowledge that mistakes were made in the past and continue to be made today, but that should not blind us to the many wonderful things Canada has accomplished. Trying to spoil it is mean-spirited and churlish. It would be like going to someone's birthday party and, just as they are about to eat their birthday cake, chime in with a "You really shouldn't eat that. You're too fat."
