July 1 marks the 157th anniversary of Canada’s founding. And there was much to celebrate this year on Canada Day.
The country has peacefully transitioned from its European settler roots to become a multicultural, multiethnic and, by and large, welcoming and tolerant society. It has a stable economy, great universities, world-renowned nature, a stable rule of law, press freedom and regular elections that transfer power peacefully and transparently.
By most estimates, Canada is a successful and prosperous nation.
