Is Anti-Americanism The Only Thing That Binds Us?

There's an important editorial in a prominent U.S. newspaper that all Canadians should read. I've been sadly amused when a foreigner would ask one of my fellow citizens, "What exactly constitutes being a Canadian?" Without fail, the answer always involves some derogatory comment about Americans. It's easy to say that this has only been the case since George Bush came into power but such a statement is a lie; such sentiments have existed much longer than that.

As we all settle in to the Christmas season, I wish more Canadians would take the time to reflect upon what they want Canada to be and then focus on doing their part to make this vision become reality.
