Myths and heroism create a strong sense of nationalism. This began with the U.S. history of rebellion. Canada has never been a rebel. It still suffers from vestiges of colonialism. We still have a picture of the queen in our classrooms and we are definitely not flag wavers. We can't even define ourselves unless it is to laugh at ourselves. I like it that way. Politics are something we endure not something we believe in. I'm not sure of anything I've just written - I'm just wondering out loud.
