The sad part is that even pre-Trudeau those are mostly all material objects, not unifying ideas. Strong and free is a good motto, but not an actual culture.
The concept of parliamentary government coupled with strong civil liberties are great western innovations with which Canada and before it the United Kingdom (and before it England) were founded. A beacon of light and humanity compared to millennia of darkness and violence, be that through the people battling wars against tyrants or nature herself.
Revisionist history, identity politics, and divisive rhetoric will undo the sacrifices and tragedies endured by those who fought and bled against these ideas. If it were to become a ubiquitous status quo, a global techno-oligarchy would require greater human sacrifice than ever to undo, and sadly we are very close.
