Thanks very much, Don, for writing this blog. It is a very interesting tale you tell, highlighting the current shortcomings of Canada, and of our inability to examine our own failings, and to function effectively as a modern society.

The contrast between our current myopia and ineffectiveness today and our extraordinary performance in WW II, with a population of only a little over 10 million people is astonishing.

There are many explanations of why this has occurred, but one significant contributor has been the abysmal failure of our educational system, schools and universities alike, to teach young people and newcomers of the extraordinary vision, drive, and tenacity shown by leaders and citizens alike, from the early days of settlement and colonization, to build a Country that became one of the leading examples in the world of what a free, democratic society can accomplish when it tries.

Today, as a Post National country, in Justin Trudeau’s view, we have become a guilt-driven, apologetic society, depending on the United Nations to define how we should behave and what our goals should be.

What a sad, sorry, and foolish society we have become.
