Thesis 1

To live in Canada is to experience the world in a certain way. I don't know how this way may compare to the experience of growing up in other countries, because I haven't grown up in any other countries, but I do know that the mental experience of being a Canadian has certain qualities that are probably attributable to the country's conditions. I will mostly be thinking about cultural conditions. I'm not positing that every Canadian will share these mental experiences. It's possible this will only apply to me.
