JUNE 6, 2026 | D-Day + 29,952 Days

On the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, we remember the Canadians who landed on Juno Beach and helped change the course of history.Their generation endured sacrifice on a scale that is difficult to imagine today. Many never returned home. Those who did helped build the modern Canada that emerged in the decades that followed, a country marked by growing prosperity, expanding opportunity, and a strong sense of shared purpose.In this special reflection, Christopher M. Michaud examines the legacy of D-Day through a modern Canadian lens. What lessons can today's Canadians learn from the generation that fought the Second World War? What kind of country have we inherited? Most importantly, what kind of country are we leaving behind for those who follow us?This is not a discussion about war. It is a discussion about citizenship, responsibility, national purpose, and the enduring idea that Canada is something worth building together.Lest we forget.#DDay #JunoBeach #Canada #CanadianHistory #Veterans #Remembrance #TheCanadianist #CanadianPolitics #CanadianIdentity #Canadianist
