As the 20th century belonged to the United States, it was said that the 21st century would belong to Canada. As we enter the twenty-first century we see a Canada with decreasing international influence, a declining global impact on the world economy and a Canada with relentless domestic issues. Our country faces challenges on multiple fronts. Our federation is tested by separatists in French-Canada, Newfoundland and Alberta. Our armed forces lays in ruins after a "decade of darkness" (Gen. Rick Hillier, Chief of Defence Staff). Our parliament has become impeded with inactivity and growing discontent.
Like a bad marriage, Canada is savaged by issues that are left unspoken for and things left unsaid.
Here, you will find the straight-forward commentary of young patriotic Canadians pushing for policy reform. Enjoy.
