Canada is the only country in the West that hasn't given in to the rhetoric of fear. The dominant rhetoric is a line of inclusion.
---John Ralston Saul---
This quote highlights Canada's distinctive approach to national identity, emphasizing inclusion rather than fear-mongering. In a world where many societies are driven by security concerns and divisions, Canada's openness stands out as a model of social cohesion and tolerance. It encourages a perspective rooted in community and acceptance, fostering a sense of unity amidst diversity. While challenges remain, this attitude of inclusion can serve as a foundation for resilience and progress, reminding us that trust and openness are vital in building a thriving, harmonious society.
