    I mean, if you give people a long weekend they’re gonna celebrate.

    I don’t know any white people who sat around in solemn reflection last weekend, but I know plenty who had an extra day of partying.

      You also have to love how it’s a federal holiday in some places. People who work for the government got the day off, but there was practically nothing for the legit indigenous other than seeing people wearing orange shirts.

      Idk, it’s weird to me because the government played a massive role in what happened. It’s odd that the provincial government gave themselves a long weekend over it.
