Dear Friend,
On behalf of our team at Canadian Studies, I wish you and your family a wonderful Canada Day. Today, Canadians show our pride in our nation's accomplishments, reflect on its history, and honor the values for which it stands in the modern world.
This year, I invite you to take this day to reflect on what defines Canada as a modern nation. Today's Canada is a strong voice for democracy, human rights, and the acceptance of human diversity; it's a country that defines itself through peacefulness and inclusivity. In a world that has in many ways seen substantial regression into authoritarianism and injustice in recent years, we believe that this example is more important than ever. As a program, we are proud to support research and scholarship that uplifts these values.
