Canada’s greatest weakness may be its arrogance, the belief that we remain a global example simply because we keep telling ourselves we are.
We boast about our healthcare, institutions, economy and moral leadership while ignoring the dysfunction, declining services and falling standard of living right in front of us.
Patriotism is not pretending everything is fine. It is caring enough about your country to confront reality, demand better and do the hard work required to rebuild it.
Canada’s reputation cannot survive indefinitely on nostalgia and self-congratulation.
A country that believes it is above criticism will soon find itself beneath the standards it once claimed to represent.
Every single day of my childhood, my parents asked the same question at dinner. Not “What did you learn?” but “Who did you serve?”
Wonderful reflections from Ben Sasse’s daughter.

The lack of compassion grieves me
