Disappointed by Ottawa’s Canada Day show

Canada Day Celebrations

First, I am a proud Canadian and served in the RCAF for 24 years. I watched the Canada Day celebrations on July 1 in Ottawa and the Independence Day celebrations in Washington on July 4. What a difference in quality. In the country of Canada (from sea to sea to sea) we have talented singers, musicians, orchestras, etc., who could put on a show to celebrate our birthday in a proper manner. Let’s become flag-wavers for a day. Maybe it is because of my age but I did not appreciate the entertainment displayed on the Ottawa stage, I could not even tell what language they were singing. Maybe next year there will be a better selection committee.
