Daylia - I think you are missing my point. I never said anything about suppporting the current policy. We are in agreement that the current actions are wrong. I never said that Canadians should join in the singing of those songs if they feel the way you do. I just feel, strongly, that booing A COUNTRY shows considerable intolerance - and intolerance led to the mindset that created the current situation.   There are other more creative and productive ways of producing change.   As you pointed out - what you love is often "obscured by anger/concern" - when your feelings are obscured nothing positive will come out of it. That is exactly what has created the conservative mindset that has set the political system back by decades.

PDC hit it on the head - it take a middle of the road position to make change.   The far left and the far right set the groundwork, but it is the middleground that will be effective.
