Yeah, but it's to the point that SOME PEOPLE aren't even valuing Anglo-Canadian (or Franco-Canadian) values/traditions. The whole "I'm not allowed to do this because I'm fill-in-the-blank culture and not 'Canadian'" is really, really silly IMHO. And there's this whole BS about not being allowed to say "Merry Christmas" (ok, so Americans have the same problem too) or sing religious Christmas songs at winter concerts, yet, other religions are allowed to present theirs. I'm really, really glad I went to private school where some traditional ideals are still valued. If you're Jewish, Muslim, Pagan, Aethiest or from another Christian denomination, you still came to chapel every morning, whether you liked it or not. If you don't want to participate, then you do so silently. Stand when you're supposed to, sit when you're supposed to. There were non Christian girls who were in the chapel choir, non Christian girls who participated in the annual Nativity.....
