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.

By most estimates, Canada is a successful and prosperous nation.
