Canada is not a. backward,
dependent nation as we know.
More than ever before she is
making a heroic appearance in
national and amateur sports, ,and
in the Olympic games. She ,
supplies raw materials and
natural resources so essential to
industry. We cannot force our
opinion of this greatness on other
lands. It is more important for us
to know, for us to know within, for
us to know within our royal
Canadian heads,

The Canadian
How would you recognize a
Canadian when you saw one? By
his land sense, imagination, or by
the lumberjack clothes he wears?
Or maybe the dogsled he &rives in
the winter to catch his food and
make his living by catching furs
on his trapline? and the canoe he
uses to catch his fish in the
summer? By his English or
French-Canadian accent?
Canadians are recongized by
many of these things and more.
If you were to go abroad,
people would say that they hardly
know what Canada is like or even
where it is. Canada may not be
famous for wars or a whole list of
internationally-known great
political men. But Canadians
have a great sense of belonging.
To. recognize Canadians you
have to have some of these
special little things that are
associated with Canada. If you
are not' Wearing yOur snowshoes
in the middle of July they don't
recognize you as being Canadian.
Now something that they might
take to is wearing a bright red and
white, knee length, fur lined,
lumberjacket with Canada written
all over it. Then they will know
that we are important people. On
the other hand a nice big,
beautiful flag onour backs might
also do the trick.
Maybe if we carried , an
impressive beaver under our arm
and gave out a maple leaf to
everyone who recongized us as
Canadians. They would realize
that we have a heritage to be
proud of.
When you mention casually,
that you are a Canadian they
automatically ask you if there is
snow on the ground all year
round. What they don't realize is
that we have a clilmate not mtach
different to many other countries.
But, then p eople have-ideas of
Canada and don't realize our
heritage.
Also, another thing that comes
to ' mind is our means of
transportation. We, the primitive,
Canadians, are still nosing our
way across the country in dog
sleds and canoes. The mention of
the word "train " or "airplane"
get blank unknowing stares from
us. On going to a city we are
frightened by cars and buses and
our horses- become "run-away-
teams". Why do people not listen
to our cry to be recognized as
people of technological ability?
Instead of thinking us as
backward as a baby going to a
party.
In all this, it really means. that
Canada does have an identity. It
feels nice to know that we are
recongized by the beautiful things
in our country--mostly national
heritage. Foreigners just can't
seem to realize or appreciate the
beauty of Canada and that we are
a lot like any other country,
except more peaceful and quiet.
Some people like coining to
Canada for visits and for living,
Would our mosaic be as big if
people did not want to come here
to live? Also, many students
coming from western countries to
study.
Is it not a nice feeling to be able
to say "I am a, Canadian" and
proud of it.
