In light of the recent discovery of what is believed to be the remains of 215 Indigenous children at the site of a former residential school in B.C., some are renewing calls for Canada Day to be cancelled this year.
On social media, the hashtag #CancelCanadaDay has gained traction in recent days and several rallies organized by the Indigenous protest movement Idle No More have been planned for July 1 in Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and in parts of Ontario.
