@virtuous_sloth @Chigaze that seems like a missed opportunity for reflection and growth.
Reading the Act, it doesn't seem like a day for particular celebration, even.

So, I think yes, Canada should have an official day for the first prime minister, but it should be more complex than simple hero worship. It's a good time to understand and own our history and what it means now and for the future.
@evan we have one for T&R (and we should), one for MacDonald would be good too

@evan IMO we have a day to celebrate the country. We don't need days to celebrate individual leaders, either first or last.

@evan I don't think there's been any Canadian political leader who's received much hero worship — maybe Pierre Trudeau? They all have major flaws, Sir John A. notably so.
(I contrast this with the arguably blasphemous https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apotheosis_of_Washington ; I can't even imagine anyone doing something similar for any Canadian politician.)

@RiversideBryan more prosaically, on first look I thought this was an outhouse 8-D

@citizen428 ok, that’s a different kind of using cpp(1) as a webpage templating engine than what I did.
Won’t escape, of course…

Can my English readers guess for what kind of article I drew this diagram?
