Couldn’t agree with you more. I think it is vitally important Canadians as a whole continue to reflect on the mistakes and unthinkable things done in the past, to make sure we do everything we can to prevent anything like them in the future.

If we all held onto, and strived for, the Canada we remembered as kids, maybe we can carve a newer, better future for all Canadians, present citizens and those destined to become Canadian.

We need to look to the authoritarian, old school countries as examples of what happens if we aren’t vigilant. To lean into and integrate our cultural and political differences as a source of strength, not division.

In my opinion, only then can we really become true Canada.
