For years we have been told â€" and accepted â€" that we were. in the main. something partly British, partly American, with a dash of French thrown in for fla- voring and that we combined the more admirable, more cautious and more modest traits of all three in our na- tional characteristics. If it did nothing else, Expo '67 dispelled that myth. To our rather self-conscious astonâ€" ishment. we discovered that we were capable of organiz- ing a World's Fair with more imagination. originality and flair than had previously been applied to such an un- dertaking and that the world was lining up to applaud us for it. It took an interna- tional exhibition to convince us that we had our own and distinctive national charac- ter. Pity it took so long. Centennial and Expo were just milestones on the jour- ney. They were not very sig- nificant in themselves. but they were useful pauses to stop. to look at ourselves and see what we had become dur- ing the years when we were too busy to take stock of the Canada that was evolving all around us. Significantly, Ex- po didn‘t look back over a hundred years and try to tell us what we had been â€"â€" it looked ahead to give us a glimpse of what Man and his World might become.
