Such a great articulation of the importance of a distinct Canadian Identity. I should read his book.
I might build this article into my teaching. This might be a way to explain these concepts to students. It’s a bit long, but maybe for grade 12s. There’s also a section with a barrage of political examples from around the world that will go right over their heads… I’ll need to think about this.
At the part where the author sings the alphabet song… they need this version (if anyone remembers where it’s from):
Q, R, S, T, U, V (look up ahead!)
W, X, Y… Z!
There’s only one American spelling that irrationally gets on my nerves and it’s their variant of cheque for financial things like paycheque. Anyone that uses the wrong one can check out of the country, thanks /j
