You have to remember, however, that Trudeau's musings are mainly drivel. Elevating his views to the level of a legitimate and coherent philosophy is as dangerous as forgetting history, assuming that's an actual concern in today's political and social environment. The globalizers, too, want us to forget history. In fact, they rely upon it. A post-national society cannot, after all, have a legitimate history, except perhaps one of exploitation and misery that must be exorcised. I sometimes think self-styled progressives are ashamed of their heritage and therefore strive to create a 'better' identity for themselves, which seems to me a form of self-delusion.
