In that time I have gone from being a citizen who was born here to a "settler." The men who founded this country, including a relative or two of mine, are no longer revered but reviled as "colonial oppressors." The words of the anthem have been changed to "all of us command" and may be changed again to "our home ON native land."
Our much-vaunted health care system doesn't work, our borders were flung open to terrorists, our court system worries more about the criminals than it does their victims and men who claim they are women are free to share change rooms with our wives and daughters.
There is less and less to be proud of in Canada. When I see our flag I half expect to see a Pride flag on the same pole and the only thing the anthem means is that the land acknowledgement is over and the game is about to start.
