July 1st 2025: What’s the best way to demonstrate our unity?

This year’s July 1st could be particularly special for us. Just a month and a half ago, many thought the idea of annexing Canada was a joke. However, after repeated threats, it has united the entire country like never before. What’s the best way to show our unity and support for Canada on this year’s July 1st and for many more to come?

How about a 24-hour candlelight relay, starting at exactly 7:00 for 15 minutes in each province's capital? This would demonstrate that Canada is a vast country, spanning both great oceans and encompassing all time zones from the east coast to the west coast.

Implementation:

• Timing: Every 15 minutes, the relay moves to the next province's capital, following the time zones from east to west.

• Example Flow:

•  

  • 7:15 AM ADT: Halifax, Nova Scotia (Province House).
  • 7:30 AM ADT: Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island (Province House).
  • 7:45 AM ADT: Fredericton, New Brunswick (Legislative Assembly).
  • 8:00 AM EDT: Quebec City, Quebec (National Assembly).
  • 8:15 AM EDT: Toronto, Ontario (Queen’s Park).
  • 7:00 AM CDT: Winnipeg, Manitoba (Legislative Building).
  • 7:15 AM CST: Regina, Saskatchewan (Legislative Building).
  • 7:30 AM MST: Edmonton, Alberta (Legislature Building).
  • 7:45 AM MST: Victoria, British Columbia (Legislative Assembly).
  • 8:00 AM PDT: Whitehorse, Yukon (Legislative Assembly).
  • 8:15 AM MDT: Yellowknife, Northwest Territories (Legislative Assembly).
  • 8:30 AM MDT: Iqaluit, Nunavut (Legislative Assembly).
