If we look at the public responses here to the 150th anniversary of Confederation—not the institutional responses, but the public response—I think we see among Canadians a desire and hunger to reconnect with their history, to reconnect with their country. That's what they have been doing.
We even saw it in a lot of the commercial advertising as people tried to ride that kind of story. Whether it was in a Sobeys commercial or some others, you saw many messages that actually talked about this kind of history.
I think, then, there's a hunger and desire to do this in Canada. Our centennial was a little bit about this, but it was just as much about Canada's being a dynamic place of the future. This year with Canada 150, I think Canadians had a sense that we're beginning to learn a little more about our history, remember more about it, and say “I want to know more.” A bit of that awakening is happening. All of us have a role to play in advancing it.
