Can we budlight this decision somehow?
Cos...
They are replacing with an “enhanced pyrotechnic show”. What is that exactly? Would be kinda cool to see a coordinated drone thing but I doubt thats what it is.
I don't really buy the migratory bird thing. We've had fireworks in every part of the world for 100+ years. PTSD angle maybe. Dogs and young kids get woken up and it can be a bit of an annoyance but its only twice a year and they'll live. You will never please everyone.
EDIT: Does this mean no more NYE fireworks either? Americans would never. They'll blast fireworks at high noon before a college football game or when someone hits a homerun and you can't even see anything except smoke.

Always had a question regarding this heritage minute.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Did someone toss a rock at the container in the hole after it was placed or?
I don't think this was covered in the first edition terrorist handbook that I read.
TIL in 1923, the government passed the Chinese Immigration Act on July 1. It stopped all immigration from China and it wasn’t repealed until 1947. For 24 years this act was enforced and Chinese Canadians referred to Canada Day as Humiliation Day.
Can't we just hang the flags at half-mast for a quick few months or whatever truly preposterous length of time that was like that other time?
