    Canada is the state, not the people. Someone speaking on behalf of the state said this, and that is what the headline reports.

      Sure, but there used to be a stronger sense of national identity. In the face of horrors or struggle. We used to condemn Nazis almost universally. We rolled up our sleeves en masse to eliminate smallpox. Streetheart was topping our radio charts!

      I don’t feel like “Canada” is an entity in the way it used to be.
