A March 29 social media post by Veterans Affairs Canada wishing veterans a “happy March holiday season” caused quite an uproar among many politicians and veterans, who worry that the Christian Easter holiday is being purposely renamed.

“Is [Veterans Affairs] too woke to acknowledge either the cultural or religious significance of Easter?” Conservative MP Michael Barrett wrote on X on March 30, adding, “53% of Canadians are Christian. And nobody worth worrying about is offended by wishes of a Happy Easter.”
Observers have noted increasing instances of Christians feeling sidelined in Canada in recent years.
