"Canada is in my mind a
great country. I am not proud
to be of English, Irish, Scottish
nor French descent but I am
proud to be a Canadian. I don't
consider myself as a poor coun-
try cousin to the United States
but as a citizen of a unique and
promising nation.
"These are my feelings in
spite of a popular movement
around me of disrespect and in-
difference that too many Cana-
dians have toward their country.
Granted, any government is
subject to criticism. But so
much, so consistently, from so
many? Men gave their lives to
provide their children with a
democratic system like ours and
many nations now envy our
position. Why then, can't we
appreciate it more, make use
of its assets and support some-
one strongly enough to repair its
weak points?
"Many other Canadians look
covetously to the "Great Socie-
ty" to the south with their
bright lights, Gemini flights
and one hundred cent dollars.
Such people say "no more sep-
aratism, no more shady furni-
ture deals, no more votes of
nonconfidence." But do these
people expect nations to run
without a hitch? At least we
have nothing as bad as Dallas,
or Selma, or Saigon on our
Doctor's Shingle is Aim
