Yup...we have different standards. And while I wouldn't identify as a "Nationalist", given all the baggage that term drags along with it, I would call anyone a damn liar if they suggested for a moment I didn't love my country, ahead of all others, at least as much as you do. I guess we'll find out soon enough if I'm in the majority, or you are, in terms of what direction this country goes. Gotta love an election year.
I guess I just don't understand why a self proclaimed nationalist would feel the need to import America's worst political traits. Canadian conservatism has only resembled American conservatism very recently. It used to be a much better version of itself. I often think that the greatest threat to our Canadian identity isn't our immigration rate, but rather some our conservatives fever to emulate the worst of America's right. In creating that kind of environment in our country, they, in my eyes, are the biggest traitors and sell outs we have.
But we've had this chat before. And somehow I think we'd still have a good time sharing a beer around a fire. So, at least for now, Canada isn't dead. Thank God for that.
