There have been countless historically significant events that have shaped Canada into the “strong and free” nation it is today, but there is also a particular moment in Canada’s history that has shaped my identity as a young Canadian with the freedom to love and the strength to be who I was meant to be. The protest against the gay bathhouse raids of 1981 is a profound moment in Canadian history that has shaped my identity as a young woman with an impregnable sense of self and the will to fight for what I believe in.
I chose this question because I wanted a chance to explore some events in my country's history that greatly reflect my identity.
J'ai choisi cette question puisque je suis fière d'être Canadienne et de ce que mon pays a pu accomplir dans les dernières 150 années.
J'ai choisi cette question parce que j'aime parler de l'identité en général.
