This article omits how lucky it is to be Canadian. I did not come from a stable or wealthy family. Yeah, my parents were educated so I benefitted from theatres, museums, and cultural and sports events and activities... these were inexpensive and of very high quality. But I also got public school field trips to the provincial legislature, to the ballet, to museums and the symphony. I had access to school libraries and the public library. I got to learn French through the federal second language bursary program, and speaking French gave me more opportunity later in life. And I went to university because of the Canada Student Loan Program. So yes, it's great to have wealthy parents and a stable family, but in case you don't, being Canadian is a lucky and wonderful thing.
