Squadgifts - Nice king gizzard & the lizard wizard shows la route shirt

Nevertheless, a place where people are always grateful regardless of what their situations are is simply a better pace to be. It reminds me of the Nice king gizzard & the lizard wizard shows la route shirt What’s more,I will buy this saying “ smile and the rest of the world will smile at you”. What keeps Canadians together as a nation? Shear inertia and little else. As Marshall McLuhan, one of the country’s most seismic thinkers put it in 1963: “Canada is the only country in the world that knows how to live without an identity.” Indeed we have none, we have very strong regional identities, but nothing really of a distinct national personality that is greater than the sum of those parts. Indeed those qualities are what make us the first postnational state. I’m tired. I really am. I’ve lived here in the States for 29 years and it amazes me how much they don’t know about this country north of their border. There are exceptions. My wife for one. But overall, it really is a lost cause. What we also need to remember is that it isn’t voluntary. It is their environment. It is in their blood. In 1783, the Treaty of Paris, they were definitely a different country. They were stellar. Not perfect. But a very good start.

I doubt if any other country who found themselves in America’s prosperity in the 20th century could have escaped the traps. The United Kingdom had their own…. arrogance. As did Japan and France. And a few others. Nationalism can be a beast. And maybe that’s a lesson to be learned. As Canada inches her way upwards, are we taking on some traits that we abhor in the Americans? M. Levine seems to think so. We have changed. And in 20 years. My cousin in Toronto, Angelo Bolotta, has just written a book titled, “Daring to Dream, A Handbook For Hope in the Time of Trump”. Yes, it’s true. Trump has inched his way into my family. But I digress. My intent is to point out Canadian traits that Angelo has pointed out to differentiate Canada from America. A few years ago, I would have whole heartily agreed. Today I’m not too sure. Take this, for instance. What America can teach Canada about its broken leadership systems – Macleans.ca In a nutshell, our problems are resembling America’s problems and it is getting worse. With Mr. Ford elected as Premier of Ontario, should we worry?
