Nationalism+in+North+America

// " //// If we wish to prevent the extension of this (US) influence, it can only be done by raising up for the North American colonist some nationality of his own; by elevating these small and unimportant communities into a society having some objects of a national importance; and by thus giving their inhabitants a country which they will be unwilling to see absorbed even into one more powerful." // - Governor General of British North America Lord Durham (1839) Nationalism unites people of different classes. It can create harmony, link our past to our present and give a people a sense of identity.It is also a tool used by dictators and power-hungry politicians. It can create violent and mighty forces as well as divide people from different geographies. It is used to exaggerate differences, foster generalizations and cause discriminate thinking. These two halves of nationalism can best be viewed in the context of World War II.

Nationalism in North America can still be analyzed, but nationalist issues do not rise to the level of real life and death. Some Canadian nationalist will point to differences in medical care, gun control, capital punishment, drug laws. Gun control is more popular in Chicago and Washington DC where guns are banned altogether. Nationalism remains a powerful force in both Canada and the United States. Some positive aspects of nationalism in Canada are freedom, democracy, peace, good government, and multiculturalism. Canadian nationalists are very concerned about the protection of Canada.
