Our woke police lost the war on Christmas as Canadians overwhelmingly say “Merry Christmas” during the holiday season, over alternative greetings.

According to a newly released survey by Research Co., 62% of Canadians prefer “Merry Christmas” over “Happy Holidays,” with 24% choosing the latter.

However, use of the “Happy Holidays” phrase jumped 10% since 2018, reported the Epoch Times.

Parliament has now on multiple occasions denounced the Canadian Human Rights Commission for calling the celebration of Christmas 'racist.'

In an interview with the publication, Research Co. president Mario Canseco said younger demographics appear most ambivalent about Christmas.

“About a third of Canadians aged 18-to-34 and aged 35-to-54 [both at 34 percent] think the holiday season will be stressful,” he said. “Only 27 percent of Canadians aged 55 and over share this view.”

On a regional basis, 73% of Atlantic Canadians prefer the Merry Christmas greeting, followed by Albertans (67%), Ontarians (64%), Saskatchewan and Manitoba (63%) as well as British Columbians (62%). 

Barely half (52%) of Quebecers have the same preference.

A Leger survey last year also bears similar results, suggesting that most see the traditional greetings as a warm embrace rather than a summation of religious convictions.

“Institutions, governments, businesses, sometimes they make a lot of effort trying to come up with, I guess we could call it a politically correct approach, to passing on greetings,” said Andrew Enns, an executive vice president at Leger.

Only 8% of non-Christians take offence when they receive Christmas greetings. “Maybe we are worrying about something that the people we think we might be offending don't feel very offended,” Enns said at the time.

Over half (55%) of respondents said they grew up as culturally or religiously Christian compared to 44% raised in a non-Christian household. 

Eastern Canadians, especially Quebecers (65%), were more likely to identify as Christian, with age also a contributing factor. However, they were also the most likely to say religion is not essential in their household.

The Liberals still say they’re committed to bringing in censorship. Bill C-63 would create unprecedented censorship agencies, investigate your online posts, and even impose hate speech restraining orders before words are spoken. Rebel News has fought Trudeau’s censorship in courts across Canada, spending over $500,000 on free speech lawyers this year alone. To protect freedom of speech, we’re ready to challenge this law the moment it passes. If you believe in standing up to this censorship, please chip in to our legal defence fund and join the 75,000+ Canadians who have signed our petition. We have to fight this — if we don’t, the law will be used to silence us, and to silence you, too.
