Every year, Canadians across the country celebrate Canada Day in a myriad of ways — some blast The Tragically Hip and snack on s’mores at the cottage, others light fireworks and share popsicles at their local park. But this year, it could look a little different.
Angered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to turn Canada into the ‘51st State,’ Canadians are raising the Maple Leaf and getting more patriotic than ever, cancelling American vacations and buying local at the grocery store. Canadians are riding the red-and-white wave, and gearing up to have one of their biggest July 1 celebrations ever.
