I’ve been pissed off since 1989 when Pierre Trudeau declared that Canada was “multicultural” and the official policy was “multiculturalism”. It wasn’t a fact. It was a Liberal policy. Pisses me off that the Conservative Party NEVER reversed this policy. My reasoning in 1989 and still: If we are a multicultural country, then what the hell happens to Canadian culture? What of our very identity as Canadians? Canadians were always well known and respected world wide. Our accent, politeness, calm nature and kindness. Also our fierce military in two world wars. Military Brat here. Always a proud Canadian. But what the hell is a Canadian now? A Pakistani with a heavy accent who travels to England and has our passport? Oh, Canada!
The photo captures our world, both today and yesterday, in the vein of our adherence to our upbringing, but also he total disconnection to the modern inventions that we use and the rigid connection to reality that is fully embedded in the minds of those few individuals who invent those tools.
Mr Frum and his interviewee both also show the mental gymnastics distorted minds are capable of. Truly, human complexity is staggering.

There is little of what David's guest said that I agree with HOWEVER he tends to be VERY ACCURATE.
.
I'm curious ... What did David Frum say in this video that you disagree with ???
.
I find all people who take a sanctimonious attitude to be a royal pain in the ass.
FACT CHECK ... Describe the portion of Frum's talk that you found sanctimonious.
