OTTAWA—As Canada Day celebrations kicked off in Ottawa, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland called for Canadians to “set aside our national modesty” and recognize the country as the best in the world.
“Our work is and always will be unfinished. There are old problems we have yet to solve, and fresh challenges for us to meet,” the deputy prime minister said during an address at the annual Canada Day celebrations at LeBreton Park Flats.
