And what about the Irish?

Re. Thomas James McLuskey’s letter What about the Scots? (Castanet, Jun 5, 2023

What about the Irish? They also came as slaves and indentured servants and have been part of the bedrock on which this great country was built.

I think the problem that we are going to have is so many proud (groups of people) contributed so much over many years and we will eventually need National (Pick Your Group) Days, or even half-days.

Heaven forbid we ever have a month set aside for the English or French, that would be bigotry or colonialism.

Why not just stop with the celebrate “this” culture over “that” culture, and just celebrate being Canadian. Wait, we have a day for that don’t we? (Canada Day) It’s not a month, or a week, just a day.
