Parliament Hill

Parliament Hill: Its not a crisis that can be mitigated once a year by people singing O Canada on Parliament Hill until they re blue in the face and honouring the national mosaic by dancing, dressing up and consuming trans-oceanic cuisine. , according to Times Colonist. To be a Canadian is a wonderful thing. A lot of folk from elsewhere around the world want to be Canadians, and not just those seeking asylum from homeland horrors. Canadians seem to be going through another identity crisis these days not the usual kind whipped up by the CBC on or about Canada Day, but one far more serious. Its born of a mixture of the national governments fixation on past glories and old British symbols, the birth of a boy who might, or might not, one day be Canadas king, republicans who refuse to swear allegiance to his great-granny, and the news that children of Canadians born abroad at the wrong time arent Canadians, especially if they are or were bastards.
