Freedom
Posted on: July 2, 2014
Although I now live in the United States, I’m originally from Canada. For that reason, it’s been a pleasure these past two years for me to write a guest post for my dad’s blog in honor of Canada Day, which happens on July 1.

For this year’s guest post, I expanded upon an article on freedom which I had written back in 1992 in honor of Canada’s 125th birthday. My article addresses how I value freedom but also how my understanding of that concept has changed over the years. I apparently had a lot to write, because the article ended up being about 300o words, which is how come my dad published it in three parts. Here are the links:
In case you missed it, for last year’s post, I updated an article which I had written about my grandmothers, neither of whom was originally from Canada. Through my conversations with them, their pride in their new country rings strong, but I also felt struck by how relevant the differences in their viewpoints about whether to hold onto or let go of their heritage are to us today.
