Deliberations by Darrell

After the fireworks are over, point your web browser to James K.A. Smith’s Fors Clavigera blog for some reflections on Canada from an ex-pat.

Smith begins with a collection of testimonies from other Canadian ex-pats in a New York Times Op-Ed piece today. Then, the Associate Professor of Philosophy at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan offers his own from-a-distance perspective as Canadians celebrate 142 years of Confederation.

His words remind Canadians that it is not just their neighbours to the south who can succumb to the idolatry of national pride.
