On this day in Canadian parliamentary history - October 8, 1957: Some 2,000 flags and 10,000 yards of bunting go up in advance of Her Majesty's visit to Ottawa. The B&W photo ran in newspapers - the colourisation is computer-generated.

![Why does the Prime Minister not just say the truth and tell
indigenous peoples that he does not give a fuck about their rights?
Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
The Speaker: The hon. member for Abitibi--Baie-James-
Nunavik-Eeyou is an experienced member and knows that is
unparliamentary language. I would ask him to withdraw the word
and apologize.
[Translation]
Mr. Romeo Saganash: Mr. Speaker, what is going on right now
is so insulting that it is making my blood boil. I am sorry. I withdraw
that word. I am truly sorry.
The Speaker: I sincerely thank the hon. member.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ql25ngsdix3owgntaui7khex/bafkreifp73cjiiq2t7b5fg5onsalla5nuagjm36lxy6dkx4johlvsjkxnm)
