Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?

Not really. For native-born people patriotism involves a belief that the country you happen to have been born into, something that you had no control over, is the best or at least a good one to live in, whether or not that is true. But if you have moved to a country because of its politics, culture etc, you may have more legitimate reasons to be patriotic. But I am a globalist who believes that people, not borders, are important.

  1. Hi Cameron. I agree with you 100%. I’m grateful to be able to travel freely with both my passports but realize I did nothing to deserve my Canadian passport. The idea that Canada is a good (but still definitely a W.I.P.) country has nothing to do with the fact that I was lucky to have been born there. Thanks for articulating it.
