Statement by NDP Leader Tom Mulcair on Canada Day

As Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast celebrate our great country’s 145th birthday, let us also celebrate the values for which Canada has become known around the world. Values like diversity, tolerance, respect and social justice that have made Canada a unique place where people from all over the world can come together and feel at home.

Whether you’re spending this day with family or friends, in a small rural town or in one of our great cities, remember that there is far more that unites us than divides us and, for that, we can all be very proud.

So, on behalf of my family, my team and New Democrats across this country, I wish you and your family a happy Canada Day!
