I agree as Canadians we are extremely privileged but I think very thankful. I love the way everyone pitches in during crises such as the Fort Mcmurray fire and we do try to go beyond politeness to tolerance. I too am grieved by the plight of the First Nations and the disappearance of so many aboriginal women...we're not perfect but humbly admit to being blessed.

A good post - I recognize the wider implications of what you said, but wanted to respond to these particular points. Nice work
