The creation of a new holiday and traditions for Canada and perhaps beyond

As we approach the 3rd anniversary of Freedom day, the day the convoy arrived in Ottawa to make what was the most unifying and loving grass roots event in Canadian history, it may be time to explore some ideas in the interests of creating new traditions that hopefully will keep the message alive for a while. At least before it deteriorates into drunken hollow rituals.

But maybe we can start with some rituals that could stay around for a while before that happens. Assuming of course we ever take back our liberties and culture.

Jewish people have a once a year tradition of making a special pastry filled with dates in the shape of a three cornered hat that represents the hat of a historical tyrant that oppressed Jewish people a long time ago. Eating the hat was to remind them of this tyrant, how he was defeated, and the importance of recognizing the threat that tyrants represent to a free people. (Observant Jewish people may wish to take issue with this analysis and I look forward to any corrections)

In the UK they have Guy Fawkes day.

Chat GPT offers this:

Guy Fawkes Day, also known as Bonfire Night, is celebrated in the United Kingdom on November 5th. It commemorates the failure of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, a conspiracy to assassinate King James I and blow up the Houses of Parliament.

Here’s a breakdown:

---

The Gunpowder Plot

• A group of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, planned to kill the Protestant King James I and replace him with a Catholic monarch.
• They stored barrels of gunpowder beneath the House of Lords in London.
• The plot was discovered on the night of November 4–5, 1605, when Guy Fawkes was caught guarding the explosives.

The minutia of the reasons don’t matter for this post. Neither can we know the motives are truly represented anyway.

The date for this holiday is easy. January 22. The name of the holiday also is.

Freedom Day.

My suggestion is that people have both public and private parties, home and out in parks, and especially where the trucks gathered at the various stations and overpasses on the way to Ottawa. People could bake cookies and cakes that look like Trucks or are on the theme of Freedom and freedom especially From Trudeau. Like Guy Fawkes, and like the Jewish celebration of the defeat of Haman, a high-ranking advisor to King Ahasuerus (believed to be Xerxes I of Persia), who planned to destroy the Jews of the Persian Empire, we must name and put a face to the enemy. In this case Trudeau. People could bake cookies with images of him to be eaten, or make pastries, cakes and cookies that look like a section of road and put Trudeau’s image in icing or some other modern way of accomplishing this.

This is an audience participation post. I am hoping people brainstorm and offer ideas and suggestions about creating these traditions, from the very easy to do, like a clever cookie idea with a ready made dough, to creative cake making for the experienced bakers. A section of road of a cake should be very easy as the illusion would all be done with icing.

I hope people have a lot of ideas. and book a freedom minded restaurant for their Freedom Day celebration soon. Let’s make the food industry salivate over Jan. 22 the way they do over all the other major holidays. Most restaurants will let you bring your own cakes etc. although they may charge a plating fee.

Looking forward to ideas and comments on this one.

I asked Grok for images of highways with a kind of outline of Trudeau on them in icing but it kept making them far too realistic and that would put people off their food. But hopefully someone can make an icing outline of him on varies pastries and make that work.
