Petition Text

Petition to the House of Commons

Whereas:

• The Government of Canada continues to expand the number of officially recognized heritage months, commemorative days, and observances dedicated to specific ethnic and cultural communities;

• The Government of Canada already recognizes more than 20 commemorative days and months for individual ethnic groups;

• These forms of empty virtue signaling tokenize ethnic communities;

• This tokenism undermines social cohesion and does not promote Canadian identity and citizenship; and

• National commemorations should reinforce a common Canadian identity rooted in the history, values, and traditions that built our country, based on the legacy of Canada's English and French founding nations, rather than divide Canadians into separate ethnic groups.

We, the undersigned, residents and citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to: 1. End the tokenism practice of recognizing a day or month in commemoration of any ethnic or heritage group; and 2. Celebrate Canadians for the sake of being Canadian not based on ethnicity or ancestry.

1. End the tokenism practice of recognizing a day or month in commemoration of any ethnic or heritage group; and

2. Celebrate Canadians for the sake of being Canadian not based on ethnicity or ancestry.
