Bang on - good point and I totally agree. I have lived more than a decade of my life outside of Canada on three different continents. My ancestors have been in Canada since the US Revolution when they preferred to remain British. I am VERY proud of our example to the world (we are the world leaders, not the USA) and yes, we are creating the world's first and best post-national state here in Canada, where people get to make free choices NOT based on the culture of where they came from. That's why I moved back here from Japan, where my kids were born - because I knews what you stated to be true and the best thing about Canada. Thanks for writing this!
