As Canadians, we don't need a military parade or a war to affirm our patriotism -- which comes in the quiet confidence of tolerance.

--- and a bit further down ---

We believe in freedom, but understand that freedom is never free.

The blood of young Canadians helped liberate Europe in the two big wars.

The battles at Dieppe and Vimy Ridge stand as testament to our bravery and sacrifice.

Cognitive dissonance...another great Canadian virtue.

Cognitive dissonance...another great Canadian virtue.

I agree....the Canadians always revere the bravery of their troops -- FROM 50 YEARS AGO! (NOT the present day, because their troops now are on so many "peace missions"....)
