Trudeau does not execute public gratitude in any comparable frequency, for all the great and good things accomplished by Canadians past. It is implicit in any act of apology for those faults and deeds not your own that the contrition is vicarious. But whatever it is that is good in us follows Pound’s prescription: it is our true heritage. We are, in many cases better simply because it is “now.” Our now will have its own sins, count on it. There were always more good than the bad, more better than worse, otherwise … ask again, how did we get here?
