This is the place for July 1st Canada Day on Selfadvocatenet.com

The intention of this page is in part to celebrate Canada’s 155th birthday

First, what is Canada Day

Canada Day, formerly (until 1982) Dominion Day, is the national holiday of Canada. The possibility of a confederation between the colonies of British North America was discussed throughout the mid-1800s. On July 1, 1867, a dominion was formed through the British North America Act as approved by the British Parliament. It consisted of territories then called Upper and Lower Canada and of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The act divided Canada into the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and it included provisions for other colonies and territories to join in the future, which made possible the growth of Canada into its present form.

The act served as Canada’s constitution until 1982, and July 1 was celebrated as Dominion Day. Canada Day is celebrated on Friday, July 1, 2022.

By terms of the Canada Act of 1982, the British North America Act was repatriated from the British to the Canadian Parliament, and Canada became a fully independent country. At the same time, the name of the national holiday was changed to Canada Day. It is celebrated with parades, displays of the flag, the singing of the national anthem, “O Canada,” and fireworks. When July 1 falls on a Sunday, the holiday is observed on the following day.

Premier’s statement reflecting on Canada Day

Victoria Friday, July 1, 2022 7:00 AM

Premier John Horgan has issued the following statement to recognize Canada Day:

“After one of the most challenging periods in our history, many people are coming together again to celebrate Canada Day at community events and backyard barbecues across the country.

“As we do, it is important we reflect on this place we call home – its past and its future – to recognize all we have to be grateful for and all we must do together to build a better Canada that works for everyone.

“We are fortunate to live in one of the most welcoming countries on the planet. People from all over the world come to Canada in search of a better life for themselves and their families. But there is a lot more we need to do to break down barriers and end systemic discrimination that is a lived reality for many. Central to that work is confronting the dark truths of our colonial history so that we can move forward through reconciliation and partnership with Indigenous Peoples, many of whom have been on this land since time immemorial.

“At our best, Canada is a place where we take care of our neighbours, no matter who they are or how much money they have in their pocket. There is no greater expression of this than our universal public health-care system, which provides Canadians with the life-saving care they need without having to take out a credit card. A global pandemic has exposed underlying gaps and added additional strains. To ensure that strong public health care is there for future generations will require a renewed partnership between governments.

“As Canadians, we enjoy a vast landscape of natural beauty and resources, from mountains ranges and beautiful coastlines, to rich farmland and abundant forests. While a rapidly changing climate is putting these things we cherish most at risk, if we act now with the urgency required, we can reduce the most severe effects and become a global leader in the emerging clean energy economy.

“This is the country we celebrate today, a place that is special, not because we are perfect, but because we are always striving to make progress and life better for people.

“Over the past few years, we have shown how much we can accomplish if we reject division and work together in common purpose. That’s why I have never been more optimistic about our future than I am right now. Together, I know we will continue to build a stronger and more inclusive Canada – where everyone feels like they belong and no one gets left behind.”

Statement by the Prime Minister on Canada Day

July 1, 2022 Ottawa, Ontario

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on Canada Day:

“Today, we celebrate the country we love, and the people we share it with. Canada is home to over 38 million people: Canadians who live in cities and towns – big and small; people who are indigenous to this land; and those who’ve been here for weeks, months, years, or for generations.

“Canada is strong because of our diversity. No matter what our faith is, where we were born, what colour our skin is, what language we speak, or who we love – we are all equal members of this great country.

“Today, we celebrate the place we all call home. I know for some, our country’s historic wrongs can make that difficult. But while we can’t change history, we can put in the work to build a better future; one that reflects our values of hope, resilience, kindness, respect, and generosity.

“Generation after generation, Canadians have shown that we can deliver on those values. We did it when we adopted our charter in 1982, we did it when we took care of each other during the pandemic, and we do it every day when we welcome refugees with open arms.

“Today is an opportunity for us all to recommit ourselves to those values – values that the Maple Leaf represents. Because our flag is more than a symbol, it’s also a promise. A promise of opportunity. A promise of safety for those fleeing violence and war. And a promise of a better life.

“As we come together today, let’s think about what this country means to us – and tomorrow, let’s challenge ourselves to find new ways to live up to the great promise of Canada. From my family to yours, happy Canada Day!”

Hello everyone, and happy Canada Day!

Today, we celebrate the country we love, and the people we share it with.

Canada is home to over 38 million people.

Canadians who live in cities and towns – big and small.

People who are Indigenous to this land.

And those who’ve been here for weeks, for months, for years, or for generations.

My friends, Canada is strong because of our diversity.

No matter what our faith is, where we were born, what colour our skin is, what language we speak, or whom we love – we are all equal members of this great country.

And today, we celebrate the place we all call home.

Now I know for some, our country’s historic wrongs can make that difficult.

But while we can’t change history, we can put in the work to build a better future.

One that reflects our values of hope, resilience, kindness, respect, and generosity.

Generation after generation, Canadians have shown that we can deliver on those values.

We did it when we signed our charter in 1982.

We did it when we took care of each other during the pandemic.

And we do it every day when we welcome refugees with open arms.

Today is an opportunity for us all to recommit ourselves to those values – values that the Maple Leaf represents.

Because our flag is more than a symbol, it’s also a promise.

A promise of opportunity.

A promise of safety for those fleeing violence and war.

And a promise of a better life.

So, as we come together today, let’s think about what this country means to us.

And tomorrow, let’s challenge ourselves to find new ways to live up to the great promise of Canada.

From my family to yours, happy Canada Day!

Canadian Flag Cake

Ingredients

Cake:

1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
3 eggs, at room temperature
½ cup sour cream, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 cup milk, at room temperature

Frosting:

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Decoration:

2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 11X17-inch baking pan with 1-inch high sides.
Step 2

Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat one egg at a time into the butter mixture; beat in sour cream and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
Step 3

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. With mixer at low speed, add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with milk just until combined. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl and finish mixing with a rubber spatula. Pour batter into prepared pan; spread to corners of pan and smooth top with a spatula.
Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool cake completely, about 30 minutes. To remove cake from pan, run a paring knife between cake and pan. Cover cake pan with plate or cooling rack; invert to transfer cake onto plate.
Step 5

Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low; slowly pour in cream. Once cream is incorporated, turn mixer speed to medium-high; beat until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Step 6

Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over top and sides of cake, smoothing the top. Place 2 to 3 rows of overlapping strawberry slices parallel to short sides of cake for the two red stripes of the Canada flag. Trace out a maple leaf shape in center of cake with a toothpick; use points of strawberry slices to create points of maple leaf. Cut a strip of strawberry for the leaf stem; fill in the area of the maple leaf with sliced strawberries. Refrigerate cake until ready to serve.

Cook’s Notes:

Cake can be decorated and served right in the pan for easier transport. If removing the cake from the pan, frost the sides and add sliced strawberries around the edge for a nice presentation.

Tips

Raspberries can be used for the sides of the flag, but strawberries work best for the maple leaf.

Tips

You can find Maple Leaf templates for your cake online.

Tips

Store leftover cake, covered, in the refrigerator.
