With its curious nature and coast-to-coast presence, this clever bird embodies the Canadian character, and supporters say it’s time to celebrate something uniquely ours. If passed, it would mark a historic moment — the first time Canada officially designates a national bird — offering a simple, joyful focal point for national pride.
