You would never know the reason behind the celebration of Christmas if you went shopping at least in my area. I haven't been able to find a single Nativity scene either for inside or outside decoration. Children who are not taken to church are not going to be introduced to Christmas and the birth of Christ incidentally there is just no association at all in the celebration. I asked in Canadian Tire and Walmart the reason they didn't have any Nativity décor and they said "it's not a popular item so they don't carry it. Ironic isn't it? The reason for the season is not popular anymore, my thought are then WELL you don't need to bother appropriating our Christian HOLY day with your hedonistic parties now do you. Okay yeah I get that the Christians appropriated the Pagan celebration of Yule also holding their celebration around the time of the winter solstice and I suppose that was wrong but this country was founded on Judeo Christian values, teachings and celebrations and there really isn't much push back from them.
I order 2 Nativity scene yard flags and I will glue baby Jesus and the Wiseman back together to decorate with because it' needs to be clear at this household at least what we are celebrating.
More good points re separation.

A few days ago, I had a discussion with a widely respected western businessman, and good friend, about the current independence movement in Alberta and Saskatchewan. I was intrigued by his thoughts about how we might advance the goal of greater western autonomy at this time in our history.
We agreed that, despite the gallant efforts of many, for far too many years, the flame for fairness has been repeatedly ignored and snuffed out, again and again. The harsh reality is, if an insufficient number of westerners don’t take the issue of independence seriously, why should eastern Canadians?
Unsurprisingly my savvy friend raised a couple of points during our conversation that I have been gnawing on since. The first was nothing new, although for at least two reasons it has become more time sensitive.
First is the disastrous state of Canada and the fact that the federal Liberal government continues to chart a ...

Canada Can't Be Fixed. Alberta Needs to Chart Its Own Course
JEFFREY RATH:
Friends, I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it. Alberta’s future does not lie within a broken, dysfunctional Canada. It lies in our own hands, building an independent Alberta, run by Albertans, for Albertans.
I had the privilege of addressing a room full of hardworking, freedom-loving Albertans recently. If you missed it, I want you to hear exactly what I told them. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the time for polite conversations is long gone.
The Truth They Don’t Want You to Hear
For over 100 years, Alberta has been treated like Ottawa’s colony. We’ve been stripped of wealth, muzzled by regulation, and told to sit quietly while Eastern politicians decide our fate. Meanwhile, our resources bankroll Quebec’s surpluses and our families pay the price with higher taxes, unemployment, and lost opportunities.
