@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
