It seems to me that this ability to completely divorce oneself from history is a uniquely Western Canadian trait. It is both a positive and negative thing I think. But I wonder if you would be so insistent about it if the tides of history had washed you up on the shores of Somalia or in the slums of Rawalpindi when you were born?
