In the latest installment of National Post’s series "What We’ve Lost," the focus turns to nationalism in Canada and its decline over the past decade or so. The author reflects on personal experiences growing up as a child of immigrants in suburban Toronto, observing a spiritual disconnection among peers who spent their summers back in their parents' homeland. This introspection highlights the struggle between cultural identity and the overarching national identity of Canada. The writer emphasizes that as Canada has grappled with economic and social challenges, many of the attributes that fostered unity—such as resilience, friendship, and community service—appear to have diminished. The feeling of being Canadian now often feels tenuous and overstated, as the author suggests that the once-celebrated attributes, like peacekeeping and sportsmanship, are no longer sufficient to instill a sense of belonging and national pride. This erosion of societal bonds raises questions about the future of Canadian identity in a globalized world. Ultimately, the article serves as a critique of the broader socio-economic trends affecting Canada and reflects a nostalgic yearning for a time when national identity felt more solid and cherished. As the National Post series continues, it invites readers to consider the implications of these losses on Canadian society, challenging them to think about what forms the bedrock of national identity and unity moving forward.
