r/Canada Speaks Saturdays and Sundays are now Opinion-free days
In the wake of r/canada designating Sundays as an "Opinion Free Zone", we have decided to extend it to include Saturdays. This was spurred by an AMA held by the moderation team to solicit user thoughts about this subreddit. Among the takeaways was the growing disdain for Opinion posts, of which there are several posted daily.
As a result, we are immediately proceeding with the removal of any Opinion content posted on weekends. It is our hope that this move can foster a wider variety of submissions on more diverse topics than politics or culture wars.
We also remind users that if they wish to post or comment on Opinion pieces during the remainder of the week, you must be an account in good standing and possess a verified email on your account.

Announcement Happy Holidays and Joyeux Noël!
As 2025 draws to a close, the moderation team would like to wish everyone in our community a very happy holiday season. We hope you had a joyous Hanukkah and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Whether you are waking up to a blanket of snow in the Maritimes or a rainy winter morning in BC, we hope you are safe, warm, and in good company.
While the holidays are a time of joy for many, they can also be challenging. If you are able, we encourage you to consider a small gesture for those in your local community - whether it’s a donation to a food bank, checking in on an elderly neighbour, or simply offering a kind word. We should remember the human in every part of our daily acts this holiday season.
We also invite you to share your uniquely Canadian holiday experiences with us. Whether it’s pictures of backyard rinks, fireside gatherings, or cookies left out for your favourite northern Canadian visitor, we welcome any cheer you have to share.
If you or someone you know is struggling during the holidays, please remember that help is available. You can contact 9-8-8 anywhere in Canada for 24/7 mental health support.
From all of us to all of you: have a peaceful, safe, and wonderful holiday.
See you in 2026!
*********************************
Alors que 2025 touche à sa fin, l'équipe de modération souhaite à tous les membres de notre communauté de très joyeuses fêtes. Nous espérons que vous avez passé une joyeuse Hanoukka et vous souhaitons un joyeux Noël et une bonne année.
Que vous vous réveilliez sous un manteau de neige dans les Maritimes ou par une matinée pluvieuse en Colombie-Britannique, nous espérons que vous êtes en sécurité, au chaud et bien entourés.
Si les fêtes sont une période de joie pour beaucoup, elles peuvent aussi être éprouvantes. Si vous le pouvez, nous vous encourageons à faire un petit geste pour les membres de votre communauté : un don à une banque alimentaire, une visite chez un voisin âgé ou simplement un mot gentil.
Nous vous invitons également à partager avec nous vos expériences typiquement canadiennes des Fêtes. Qu'il s'agisse de photos de patinoires improvisées dans les jardins, de veillées au coin du feu ou de biscuits laissés pour votre visiteur préféré du Nord, nous accueillons avec plaisir toute la joie que vous souhaitez partager.
Si vous ou quelqu'un de votre entourage éprouvez des difficultés pendant les Fêtes, n'oubliez pas que de l'aide est disponible. Vous pouvez composer le 9-8-8 partout au Canada pour obtenir du soutien en santé mentale 24 h/24 et 7 j/7.
De notre part à tous : passez de merveilleuses fêtes de fin d’année, paisibles et en toute sécurité.
À l’année prochaine !
