Ever since I immigrated to Canada 20 years ago, I have been told during Christmas season not to say “Merry Christmas” for the sake of diversity and inclusion.
So diversity and inclusion should exclude Christmas? Image a botanical garden that claims to welcome any flower and vegetation regardless of their color and origin refuses red rose from Europe.
I say Merry Christmas during Christmas season, just like I say Happy Spring Festival during the Chinese New year, every year.
This year, I work as a Federal contractor, so technically I work for Trudeau, who hates Christmas for the sake of the sick diversity and inclusion.
Many people are taking vacation for Christmas during the last 2 weeks of the year. Last Friday my manager, who is from India, message the team: “Happy Holiday and Happy New Year”.
I replied:” Merry Christmas and Happy New Year”.
