Our curmudgeonly friend is fine with the Grits’ plan to create a mid- winter statutory holiday, but not with letting schoolchildren name it.
What a load of precious crap. Why children? They’re cute, but they don’t know anything. A substantial number would solemnly recommend Fart Day or Dinosaur Day.
Why not Treaty Day? First Nations in NS already celebrate it. Why shouldn’t “we.” They’re “our” treaties, too. After enduring centuries of de facto apartheid, First Nations deserve to be welcomed as an important community in NS.
The worst of it is: think of all the treacly interviews we’ll have to suffer through as patronizing newsreaders humour eight-year-olds about their clever holiday name suggestions.
