"It is post-national........ that provokes the world’s envy."

Children, don't believe any of this. The 'world' has NO envy at all for Canada and 99% of the 'world' doesn't know a thing about Canada. By 'world ' he means a tiny group of European anti-nationalist globalists. The entire article follows the usual Canadian condescending and sanctimonious narrative of fear against the United States and Americans. Canada can only define itself as a negative. This bizarre thinking originates with the Laurentian Elite of Central Canada, spread by the CBC and other gullible media and is designed to control the population politically and maintain the wealth and market share of the business elite. It's classic divide and conquer allowing the elite to control people. It's played out well for decades by anti-nationalist globalists in Europe and Canada and labeled as multiculturalism: Transfer large populations of offshore ethnic nationalists and dilute the strength of the original inhabitants.
