"There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada..." - Justin Trudeau

This article provides a good counterpoint to Trudeau's bizarre assertion. Canada is a country heavily influenced by the humanist Western consensus that's emerged since the Enlightenment. And contrary to Trudeau's view that we're simply a blank slate of sorts, or a "post-national state" as he would have it, we're moving further in the direction of rationalism and secularism as each year passes. Of course, Trudeau has also pointed out that those outside of Canada who don't subscribe to Western values simply haven't evolved enough to figure things out. He can't have it both ways, and neither can we. We should robustly assert Western values within Canada. It's these very values that attract other people to countries like the U.S., Britain, France, Canada and Australia. The fact that Trudeau apparently hasn't evolved enough to figure this out is his problem.
