O Canada

A popular Canadian creation myth has it that when the Fathers of Confederation came together, they decided to build a truly great county by borrowing of what their ancestors and neighbours had produced. The country they envisioned would combine French culture, British politics, and American technology. But the plan went wrong, and Canada was left instead with French politics, British technology, and American culture.

Why doesn't the government switch it back to the way it was supposed to be and see what happens? I would be curious to see if it would work. I think I'd rather have French culture than French politics. Maybe that explains why most of the prime ministers come from Quebec! I don't want to get into my opinions of this statement because I think I would offend many people. Better not to say anything if you can't say something nice, right?

I have been reading a book called Cultural Subjects. It is pretty interesting. This is where the quote came from. I am interested in things like popular culture and philosophy so the new books I was given give me something to think about.
