Welcome to the 13th edition of the Red Ensign Standard, a forum where we highlight some of the best subversive commentary from across the great northern Dominion.
{…}
Flying across the country, as has become so routine for many of us - I'm always in awe of what Canada's pioneers accomplished. Those who came to North American shores and moved their way across the unforgiving landscape had to literally dig themselves an existence out of the rocks and brush and swamp. They sure as hell didn't have a Nanny State nagging over their shoulders. Our post-Trudeaupian deference to government authority would be alien to most of them. They would be unable to comprehend why we are constantly up in each other's faces over what percentage of our income will be poured into this or that government sink hole. It's that Canada I pay tribute to when I fly the Ensign - I'm not envious of the comparative state of freedom in the US: I honestly think we can do better, as history has shown.
Me too. Check out the rest here.
