It became a restatement of many basic truths about Canada's position in the world, and was surprisingly graceless about the successes that Canadian foreign policy had achieved before Mr.

Canada’s support for UN Security Council Resolution 1322 (October 7, 2000) was inconsistent with its commitment to oppose declarations in international institutions that unfairly criticize Israel and seek to isolate her.

 ESR | May 24, 2004 | Victoria Day and the life and death of traditional Canada
It could be argued that, with the death of the living, breathing body of Canada, the country today is a wholly artificial entity, like Frankenstein's monster, kept supposedly "alive" only by the narrowest economic self-interest, and by massive state subsidies to the aptly-named "cultural industries" (which, incidentally, few today notice is itself a quasi-Stalinist term).
Indeed, there seems to be nothing to Canada today but the continued maintenance of a high standard of living and the vaunted social programs (especially the healthcare system); and the proclaimed right of anyone living or arriving here to enjoy all these benefits without one iota of responsibilities.
However, it could be argued that the ghosts of the old Canada may be discovered -- for those few who still seek them -- in whatever architecture has been saved from the post-Fifties frenzy of development -- splendid churches, the grave buildings of public squares and old universities, traditional homes built in solid style.

 Oh Canada   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
To understand Canada, one must realize that the self-proclaimed elite--an axis of journalists, politicians of all political parties, and academia--view Canada as a moral conscience to the world precisely because of its statism.
It could just be that Canada is being used as UN propaganda, since just about everyone already sees Canadians as nice, friendly "compassionate" people, which is surely the image that the UN--and all statists for that matter--wishes for itself.
