Proudly Canadian - 4 Reasons Why Canadians Stand Out: Issue 367

In the midst of the ever-evolving political landscape and increased polarization, what it means to be Canadian takes on a whole new level of significance. It's time to reflect on what it truly means to be Canadian and to have a patriotic spirit as we navigate through the debates and challenges that shaped our nation. While the Molson Canadian Joe Rant poked fun at our Canadian stereotypes, there is a lot of truth between the lines of that commercial that still ring true even today.

Embracing Our True North Identity 

Being Canadian is about more than just maple syrup, hockey, and politeness. It's a badge of honour we wear, representing a nation known for its incredible landscapes, diverse cultures, boundless opportunities and an incredible work ethic.

Case in point: this year’s winning Stanley Cup team had the most Canadian born players, despite calling Vegas home.  We embrace our True North identity and take pride in the rugged landscape that we call home.

Speaking Up and Taking Action 

Being Canadian means we don't sit on the sidelines. We raise our voices, engage in passionate discussions, and make a difference. We stand up for what we believe in From small towns to bustling cities, we have the power to shape our political future. Let’s show the world we can have deep political discussions without resorting to name calling and pandering to the extremes on the political spectrum - as Canadians, you may find we have much more in common and much less difference than you may think.


Celebrating Our Mosaic of Cultures 

We're a mosaic of cultures, languages, and traditions, blending together harmoniously. Being Canadian means embracing the flavours, colours, and sounds that define us. Whether we're celebrating Diwali, Eid, Hanukkah, or Canada Day, our diverse tapestry enriches our nation and makes us stronger. Let's come together to share our stories, learn from one another, and build bridges that unite us as opposed to being used as political wedges.


Standing Tall for Our Values

As Canadians, we're built on values like inclusivity, equality, and compassion. We hold these truths to be self-evident. In the face of political challenges, we stand tall, refusing to compromise on what makes us who we are. We believe in a Canada where everyone has a fair shot, regardless of their background or beliefs. It's in our DNA to champion these values and ensure they shine brightly across our great land.

Standing up for our values also means holding those accountable who do not mirror these values and working towards a more unified and better Canada.

So this Canada Day long weekend, rather than dwelling on polarizing politicians slinging mud, let's stand strong, and fly the flag that shows us united in our love for this incredible nation. Together, we'll show the world what it truly means to be Canadian—fierce, proud, and always ready to embrace the challenges that lie ahead. 

Now if only we could solve the riddle of the Maple Leafs…

Enjoy the long weekend.  Raise your favourite cold beverage and toast to what it truly means to be Canadian. 

Thanks for reading & have a great weekend,

Paul Fitzpatrick
