[ Countries ]

July 1st is the national day for Canada, recognising the creation of the country in 1867.  I know there are some tough times going on there, with some deep introspection underway about its history.  It is a journey that many modern societies are going through.

The forming of countries is only a recent phenomenon in the realm of humankind.  In creating a country, we establish a boundary, and a governance framework.  It also establishes an identity and a way to pigeonhole (apply biases) when you meet someone new.

Bring on the hockey, maple syrup, and getting oot and aboot, eh.
