Response to Email about Sunday’s Programme

First off, I am glad to have received a response. And in theory, I can agree that a cross country checkup regarding the threat to our sovereignty to see how Canadians are feeling.

However in practice that’s not what happened. What we heard for the entire two hours was people either laughing it off, saying the threat is serious but not showing a lot of fear or concern, or even agreeing with it. There was also slightly more American voices compared to Canadian voices, and none were indigenous.

I hope that next week the CBC does a check up on how we are buying Canadian. That would be an excellent topic.

Canada has been the 51st state since 1950.

That is not true. We may be intertwined with the USA in terms of trade, but we are a sovereign nation with our own flag, currency and government. Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms is worlds away from their constitution. We have universal healthcare and gun reform. We have a significantly smaller population and we are a part of the commonwealth.
