CANADIAN HERITAGE
Canadians wake up each day and our day becomes part of our heritage as a common culture and common society. We will be studied by future generations to understand the changes we made each moment in our culture and society.
The relevance of this reality and truth is how each one of us lives each and every day of our lives. Certainly, we can learn from past generations, but we mustn’t judge them as they lived the best they could under their beliefs and circumstances, just as we do today.
Canada’s indigenous cultures existed for ten thousand years before Europeans and others from around the world arrived here to add their input to our cultures. Thus, our indigenous foundational Canadianism should be understood and respected by all our present cultures.
The colonial era of the past five hundred years broke up the many-culturalism the existed throughout the continents and added global cultural infiltrations everywhere. Canada may have been the first to assemble a majority of global cultures. Thus, we have a wonderful opportunity to learn how to eliminate prejudices and create cultural harmony with all cultures of noble values and aspirations.
In order to find harmony amongst our thousand cultures, we must seek our similarities and overlook our differences. It will be a non-judgmental recognition of our common values and attributes that will release the Canadian Spirit in all of us and thus produce true greatness of common cultural attributes of all common peoples of this country and this world.
It will be this Canadian Spirit that will morph the politick of Canada into the positive development of our society, wherein our Canadian selflessness and sharing character will open up our intrinsic national potential for prosperity of all Canadians, and the promise of a life of personal fulfillment and spiritual growth.
By releasing the goodness in our Canadian Spirit into each day, we will produce a freedom to initiate, create, innovate and achieve the potential that each one of us imagines in our soul. Our willingness to serve others will equip us to lead others towards goals not yet imagined by themselves. Every day will have purpose and end with worthy meaning to ourselves, our families and loved ones. Each failure will provide a step upwards and forward in our efforts to achieve success in our lives. Each success will establish a new foundation for tomorrow.
Canada’s Heritage has many steps and many new foundations. As Canadians, we desire in our hearts to leave a personal legacy of noble heritage for our future generations.
Canadians are our Heritage.
