That statement stood out at me as 1 read the morning newspaper last week, probably because a very similar thought has been lurkinig in my own mind for a long time. The comment was made by Dr. Richard Hleinzl, from Hamilton, Onitario. Hes one of six C-anadian physicians with a medical teamn that has been helping thousands of Kurdish refugees, under impossible conditions, highini the mountains on the border betwceen Iraq and Turkey. They work with an organiization called M1edecinýs sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) which has a juistîy h'eroic2 reputation for bringing medical aid to devastated areas inaccessible to traditional aid groups such as the Red Cross. Dr. Heinizl rejected the suggestion that thieyre heoes, and stated: 1 just want to be a Canadian and do my job." Those words speak volumes about Canada and a national attitude which distinguishes us fromt most other nations. We don't feel comfortable with greatness or heroics. If most people were asked to rinme a national hero and you excluded hockey stars such as Wayne Gretzky, they'd be stumped. We dont seemi to want hieroes unless thecyre hockey players. Thats flot to say Canada hasn't had it's far share of heroes over the centuries. Its just that we prefer to' downplay or ignore them. The regrettable side of that is our parallel tendency to tum our backs as well to many other important features of our history and heritage. A recent poli indicated a bare 50 per cent of Canadians could identify Sir John A. MacDonald as our first Prime Minister. While some mîghît excuse that as simply demonstrating that the people questîoned had a poor grounding in local history, it really goes much deeper. lI fact, this lack of understanding of our heritage mîght well bc considered a major stumbling block in our current quest for national unity. As the Citizens Forum on Canada's Future said in its report last month, Caniadians are seriously uninformied about their country and each othier. While the Forum commissioners hieard a great deal of public crîticism of politicians and governmiients, miuch of this also indicaîed a danigerous igniorance about o ur counîry, ils systemn of government-ii, and ho'xwC we cmeI1 be wh1a-î Weare îodjay. "We do flot knlow enough about ourselves," the rep)ort stated. "Without a radically fresh approach bt improving whiat we know about each other, our lack of knowledge of the basic realities of this counitry will conitiniue to cripple efforts at accommodation." To be what we want *obcb, we first have to know what we are -- thats the problemn facing Canadians today. lis often been said, and 1 can vouch for this personally, that those, who have lived in another country for a while are the ones who really know what it means to be a Canadiani. They've measured it against world standards and know they like Canada best. Its hard to break old habits. But I believe weve got 10 stop being s0 Canadian if we want to preserve this land we cherish. It's time to drop the diffidence and reticence, and to spend a lot miore timie U.
