Listen "What It Means to be Canadian"
Episode Synopsis
In the current political climate Canadian identity has been front and centre in this country. We have a lively conversation about some of the things that make us Canadian and what we love about Canada. Canada is multicultural, welcoming immigrants and their cultures as well as the knowledge that they contribute to the growth of Canadian culture. We are a peacekeeping nation and value that role in the world. We share our own stories of being/becoming Canadian. We speak to the matter that not all have felt welcome to be part of Canada. We also explored the tension we experience between thinking globally and particularly trying to balance world issues with our local and provincial lives. Climate change, for example, takes a world effort and is being challenged in that effort by nationalistic boundaries, although the scientific community is one that cooperates beyond those boundaries. Listen as we touch on Justice Murray Sinclair's four identity questions: Where do I come from? Where am I going? Why am I here? Who am I?
