Glen Pearson at his blog The Parallel Parliament<\/a> <\/em>cites Frye on Canadian liberalism in a post here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Money quote:<\/p>\n

When Canadian Northrop Frye penned his seminal Divisions on a Ground,<\/em> he used that very term to describe this very country he appreciated.\u00a0 While acknowledging the various diverse components struggling to make their way in Canada, he also affirmed that they were in one place \u2013 \u201cOn A Ground\u201d \u2013 and that accommodations were being made.\u00a0 For that reason, his work was hopeful.<\/p>\n

The liberal temperament looks at it the same way.\u00a0 To live together, temperament matters just as much as policy.\u00a0 To be decent, tolerant, smart, accommodating, principled and generous has mattered just as much in this country as wealth.\u00a0 It is who we are and it\u2019s best we get back to it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
