Premier’s statement on Canada Day

Victoria Saturday, July 1, 2023 7:30 AM

Premier David Eby has issued the following statement marking Canada Day:“Today, people in British Columbia and throughout the country are celebrating and reflecting on Canada Day.“Many people will watch parades and fireworks, enjoy barbecues with friends and family, and have conversations about what Canada means to them.

“We are fortunate to live in such a beautiful, welcoming and peaceful country. People from around the world come here to build better lives, and we all benefit from this growing diversity. Yet many people continue to face barriers to fully participating in society.

“This Canada Day, I think of the Indigenous people who are driving change in their communities, the province and the country. I think of the more than 15,000 people who fled war in Ukraine and found peace in British Columbia. I think of them and all Canadians from coast to coast to coast who make this country a safe and welcoming place for all.

“Canada Day is also an opportunity to acknowledge the impact Canada’s colonial history has had on generations of Indigenous people and the importance of creating true and lasting reconciliation. Our government is dedicated to this work. Last year, we became the first jurisdiction in Canada to release an action plan to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and we’ve made significant progress on the action items in partnership with Indigenous Peoples.

“Canadian values of diversity, equity, inclusion and peace underpin our work on reconciliation and on other issues we’re addressing to make life better for people in British Columbia, Canada and around the world, from creating more homes for people and making life more affordable, to welcoming more newcomers and tackling climate change.

“As we come together today, let’s continue to listen and learn. Let’s reflect on the past, present and future of Canada, and what we can do to build a better country – one where everyone belongs and no one is left behind.”

Statement by the Prime Minister on Canada Day

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on Canada Day:

“No matter where you are, July 1 is an opportunity for us all to celebrate the country we call home, the people we share it with, and the future we’re building together.

“We can – and we should – take pride in all those things. After all, Canada is the envy of the world: people fleeing violence and persecution dream of a life here, businesses open headquarters in our cities and manufacturing plants in our towns, and world leaders look to us for leadership in times of crisis.

“Wherever our flag flies, it’s recognized as a symbol of democracy, of freedom, and of hope. It represents the values we all hold dear. And it is a promise. A promise of a country where newcomers are welcomed with open arms, where differences are celebrated and diversity is embraced, a country where you’re free to be who you are and love whom you love, where everyone has a real and fair chance at success, and a country where we acknowledge historical wrongs and learn from the past in order to build a better future – for everyone.

“Canada has withstood incredible challenges throughout our history, and we’ve always made it through by working hard together and staying true to our values. We did it when our grandparents stood up to fascism on the beaches of Normandy and across Europe. We’re doing it now when we step up to help those affected by wildfires. And we do it every day when we take a stand against hatred and discrimination.

“We are from far and wide, but united we are 40 million strong – and there is no challenge we cannot overcome together. So today, let’s celebrate each other, and let’s celebrate as we continue to build this great country. And let’s continue to seize every opportunity we can to make this country even better for our children and our children’s children.

“Happy Canada Day, everyone!”

Canada Day Strawberry Pancakes

Course Breakfast Cuisine American Prep Time 10 Cook Time 15 Chill Time 20 Total Time 45 Servings pancakes

Strawberry Pancakes are an easy, sweet, and delicious breakfast recipe loaded with fresh strawberries and topped with Strawberry Sauce.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1½ cups sliced strawberries
Strawberry Sauce for serving
butter for serving

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and oil.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients and 1 cup of the sliced strawberries, mixing with a rubber spatula just until combined. The batter will be lumpy. Do not to over beat the batter. Mix until it’s just combined but still lumpy, otherwise, you’ll get tough pancakes!
Place the batter in the refrigerator for 20 minutes until bubbles start to form all over the top.
Preheat the oven or your warming drawer to 200°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will be used to put any cooked pancakes on so they don’t get cold and soggy while you’re cooking up the rest of the batter.
Heat a griddle to 350°F or a large skillet over medium heat and spray with nonstick spray.
Add ¼ cup of the pancake batter to the griddle or pan to make each pancake. Add a few additional slices of strawberries to the pancakes. Once the tops are all bubbly and the bottoms are golden brown, flip the pancakes and cook until done. Repeat until the batter is gone.

Recipe Notes

Buttermilk Substitute: Simply mix 1 cup of 2% or whole milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Whisk to combine.
Can I use frozen strawberries? I wouldn’t recommend it. They will give off too much excess moisture and since they are so cold, the batter around they will have a hard time cooking and fluffing up. Stick with fresh for the best texture and flavor.
How to freeze: Once cooked, allow them to cool and place them on a single layer on a sheet pan and put in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer the pancakes to a freezer bag and squeeze out any excess air. Bake or microwave to enjoy from frozen.
Nutritional information is an estimate based on a total of 16 pancakes and does not include toppings.

Canadian Flag Cake

Ingredients

Cake:

1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
3 eggs, at room temperature
½ cup sour cream, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 cup milk, at room temperature

Frosting:

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Decoration:

2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 11X17-inch baking pan with 1-inch high sides.
Step 2

Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat one egg at a time into the butter mixture; beat in sour cream and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
Step 3

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. With mixer at low speed, add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with milk just until combined. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl and finish mixing with a rubber spatula. Pour batter into prepared pan; spread to corners of pan and smooth top with a spatula.
Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool cake completely, about 30 minutes. To remove cake from pan, run a paring knife between cake and pan. Cover cake pan with plate or cooling rack; invert to transfer cake onto plate.
Step 5

Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low; slowly pour in cream. Once cream is incorporated, turn mixer speed to medium-high; beat until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Step 6

Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over top and sides of cake, smoothing the top. Place 2 to 3 rows of overlapping strawberry slices parallel to short sides of cake for the two red stripes of the Canada flag. Trace out a maple leaf shape in center of cake with a toothpick; use points of strawberry slices to create points of maple leaf. Cut a strip of strawberry for the leaf stem; fill in the area of the maple leaf with sliced strawberries. Refrigerate cake until ready to serve.

Cook’s Notes:

Cake can be decorated and served right in the pan for easier transport. If removing the cake from the pan, frost the sides and add sliced strawberries around the edge for a nice presentation.

Tips

Raspberries can be used for the sides of the flag, but strawberries work best for the maple leaf.

Tips

You can find Maple Leaf templates for your cake online.

Tips

Store leftover cake, covered, in the refrigerator.
