"Even though this word is commonly used, it is not used as a way to
cheers a drink.
The word has evolved over decades and has made it's way into Canadian
slang as a way to
say goodbye to someone or to well wish them, but not as a way to cheers a drink.
Peace is also the one thing that unites all Canadians who come from
diverse backgrounds
How is it we can live together but other countries cannot???
We as Canadians have a collective understanding that in Canada, we
live in peace together.
It's actually an incredible thing to witness and something that makes
us stand out on a global scale
as we struggle to find our identity"
Thanks Quincy
