Dominion Day and Stephen Harper

Stephen Harper: But it wasn t always like this, according to Metro News. This revision has proved so contentious over the years that many from history buffs to even a young Stephen Harper have rallied to bring the term Dominion Day back into the national lexicon and Surely no holiday musters the kind of unanimous enthusiasm and uncomplicated pomp from politicians on all sides of the aisle as Canada Day. The holiday as we know it was born on a hot afternoon in a sleepy House of Commons in 1982, when a small group of members of Parliament pushed through legislation to change the name of our national holiday from Dominion Day to Canada Day.
