I expect that whatever celebrations of Canada's existence, survival and evolution - hopefully to a much kinder coalition of nations - we have in future will be more distributed over the course of at least ten days. Not July 1st alone, not anymore. And it will start with this day. From Indigenous Peoples' Day to St. Jean-Baptiste Day to Canada Day. Ten days of observance, rather than celebration, makes more sense to me these days. At least for now.

We have what looks like a quiet start to the month, barring some great and/or terrible news that I haven't seen yet. Beyond the hardcopy of the Ottawa Citizen, I've not seen or heard much in the way of news this morning so far.

Speaking of which newspaper, they published an opinion in both English and Français that you might want a look at. I know that I'm in agreement with it. It is not often that the Citizen publishes anything in both those languages.

Food for thought for many of us in Ontario, that.

Maybe we ought to consider allowing Judy Maddren to head up a Canadian English Dictionary Project via CBC.

Who's her counterpart on the francophone side of the aisle at Radio-Canada?

Je veut practiquer le français. Je l 'étuderai dans l'école secondaire en Saskatchewan, mais quand j'arriverai en Ottawa...jamais de practice! C'est mon erreur, oui?

Pour cette raison, ce "blog"? C'est une avantage que je veut exploiter, sans merci.

(Hoping I got the grammar and noun genders right! And figuring out the alt-codes for the accents in the age of Unicode ain't exactly easy anymore either!)
