Black Dog - do you think it's reasonable to communicate an overall positive view of our country to young people in the education system ?
Keep in mind that is NOT the same as papering over the past.
If so how ?
I think you can have pride in your country without a huge slant of historical nationalist propaganda (our country is always great). Our country is a great country, and it's been not so great at times too. It is what it is. Your parents or spouse may have made some mistakes in their life, it doesn't mean you have to stop loving them. Nobody's perfect. If perfection is the standard in order to have pride for one's country then nobody would be proud of their country because every country has done bad things.
You can be in a school where kids stand for the national anthem and also learn about residential school tragedies.
