5.0 out of 5 stars Freedom, Canadian Style, Dec 27 2009

By	Robert New "NovaLogos" (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This documentary reviews the changes in the Canadian culture, percieved from both at home and abroad, that has occured since about 2001. From being a "boring" country that nobody really could say anything definitive about, to becoming one of the leading countries for freedom in the world. Canada is starting to stand up to the United States, and is thus getting a reputation for being "cool".

Highlighting the landmark 2003 Summer of Freedom which saw in Canada the legalization of both same-sex marriage and marijuana, the film traces the change in mass acceptance of these controversial areas through the Bush era. Canada seems to have come of age in its standing up to the United States for what it believes is right, in contradistinction to its previous little brother subservience to the American hegemony. In short, The United States is no longer the leader of freedom, and Canada has stepped up to the role.

Certainly Canada has a way to go, but the film points out some historically decisive breaks; and we can even see The United States following the Canadian precedents. From a middle power mouse sleeping next to an elephant, we have become the promised land for freedom, drawing people from around the world to breathe its refreshing air. Best not to forget, however, that Canada has long been the refuge of American dissidents.
