My mind turns almost immediately to technology. While the organizers of the 1967 centennial and Expo were certainly adept at using the technology at hand then, and there were some fairly sophisticated exhibits that travelled across the country, today I think of Twitter, social media, and Facebook. How we engage the Canadian community is probably quite different from the coffee klatsches around a kitchen table. Mind you, there is benefit to that as well. So as far as technology, communications, and the kinds of tools we use today to engage people, it is quite different.
There may also be differences in tolerance around expenditure of public dollars. I think that's something we are cognizant of as a country.
So there's a range of differences. I also believe there's an overarching sense of pride, and that's demonstrated in the Environics survey. It shows that Canadians are proud, and welcome the opportunity to celebrate accomplishments and join together in moving forward into the future.
