It Is Getting Harder And Harder...

...even for us old farts to remember why we are proud to be Canadians and god forbid we try to voice these reasons in today's multi-cultural, diverse society.  

How Soon We Forget
Actually we don't even know now. Publius:
...Our historical amnesia is not the product of an administrative accident. Mistakes like these are never accidental. If people don't remember what Canada was like before, say, 1963 it becomes much easier to redefine Canadian identity...
...little Johnny Canuck leaves school wondering why people make such a fuss over John A. Didn't he just stagger around drunk and hang Louis Riel? Once upon a time grandma and grandpa might have corrected Johnny by mumbling something about a railroad and nation building. Unfortunately this "killing" of Canadian history has been going on so long most people don't remember the other bits...
