If you are more focused on being "annoyed" in your "regular" everyday lives than you are missing the point. Not everyone gets to live life the same way. Under the same government and structure yes, but not having the same experiences. Canada Day means a reminder of atrocities for a lot of people in this country. Like the genocide that happened in this country and is now even acknowledged by government justice ministers, and current issues. You don't have to be accountable for what your ancestors did, but you do need to acknowledge it and stop this "business as usual" rhetoric. It continues the harm from the past, its holding this country back and its getting old. Canada Day can be a celebration of what this country CAN be. Appreciate instead of get annoyed and hate. Not everything is going to speak to you but it doesn't have to for it to still be right. We have a long way to go in repairing relationships. We can all do it together. It has to be together. In my opinion.
