Since the beginning of his tenure as Prime Minister, Mark Carney has consistently evoked the language and imagery of a traditional Canadian identity. Whether it was his allusion to the four founding nations of Canada during the election, or more recently, with a video he published giving praise to Canadian hero Sir Isaac Brock.
Mark Carney is attempting to use these icons of our history to present himself as being a unifying figure, drawing from the Canada we remember but have lost. However, these bids to capitalize on nostalgia fall flat when one begins to recall who is to blame for the loss of this identity.
