‘Thousands of Canadians regard their true affiliations as being many miles away’

writes Michael Coren:

In that sport is visceral and tribal and often exposes genuine feelings, this says something deeply worrying about the country. (…)

While the fantasy is of modern Canada being composed of numerous nations, faiths and people who all come together as one, the truth is closer to numerous battling and exclusive groups carving out their own influence and place in a fractured state too nervous and self-critical to be proud in its being and aggressive in its citizenship.
