OTTAWA–With U.S President Donald Trump making economic and expansionist threats against his northern neighbours, a new survey suggests that pride in being Canadian has increased among supporters of all federal parties – except Conservatives.
The number of Canadians who feel proud of their country has rebounded overall, according to research shared exclusively with the Star from the Environics Institute, with 62 per cent now indicating that they are very proud to be Canadian, compared to 53 per cent who said the same last September.
The Star has a hard time distinguishing between patriotism and the ersatz flag waving baloney we witnessed during the election, much of it by the same folks happy to see Sir john A in a box.
