July 1st is coming: Happy Birthday Canada!

Yesterday’s post featured a love song.

With much love, today’s post is devoted to Canada.

Canada is neither a “postnational state” (hello Mr. Trudeau), nor a “51st state” (hi Mr. Trump). Indeed, it is much bigger and more beautifully unique than these two SAD visions of self-dismissiveness and antagonistic, provocative language.

Although far from being perfect, Canada has flaws along with glories. Contrary to other places, it is surely one of the world’s most peaceful and welcoming countries.

For all these reasons and beyond, Canada deserves to be respected, protected, deeply loved, and celebrated, summer after summer and all year long.

Thank you, and Happy Birthday, Canada!
