Where we came from
Unless we understand and cultivate what each of us had inherited from wherever we came from, we could not really give the world back everything it needed to find in us.

The single greatest failure
The single greatest failure of the Canadian experiment, so far, has been our inability to normalize – that is, to internalize consciously – the First Nations as the senior founding pillar of our civilization.
