I strongly believe that the younger generation of Canada are truly going to play are stellar role in defining Canada in the 21st century. The current younger generation has unprecedented power, intelligence and tools. They are the biggest in demographics and are also the smartest generation ever, as evidenced by all-time-high test scores and extraordinary university graduation rates. Some have said that they are the narcissistic Generation Me obsessed with YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. But facts don't support this, they care. Youth volunteering in high school and university is higher than ever. As a generation they believe in fairness, justice, freedom and protecting our biosphere. More than ever, they are accustomed to and favor diversity and view racist and sexist behaviour as both weird and unacceptable. I can basically go on and on about the promising greatness of the younger generation of Canadians growing up in the digital age. I am optimistically confident that this generation will carry Canada to a whole new level in the global conversation and make sure that this century is the Canadian century. Below is a link to a fantasic music video exemplifying Canadian pride that resonates with the youth and beyond. GO CANADA!!
