Canada Day will be no celebration
This Canada Day will be no celebration. If anything, we need to hold a silent march in black.

Some people are planning to wear orange, to honour victims and survivors of residential schools.

Orange seems oddly festive, unless you have Irish Catholic antecedents…

Moving Day, I think you mean.

Canada Day isn’t Moving Day the way it used to be. Back when rent was a lot cheaper relative to incomes, people moved house more often. If you weren’t moving yourself, usually you knew someone who was, who would reward you with pizza and beer for pitching in. But it hasn’t been like that in awhile. Now when you have an affordable apartment that suits your needs you’re not going to leave it lightly, even if it’s not perfect.
