Ah, but that's the catch - Canada is still very much in that jingoistic mindset, but we don't like to admit it. Every year at Remembrance Day, we still read In Flanders Fields. We're very proud of being "peacekeepers." But at the same time, discussing it in any kind of detail is just . . . gauche. So anyone adapting Rilla would have to thread that needle of "Canadians nobly sacrificed themselves in WWI, but we know the British Empire was bad but we're past that now but we love our WWI heroes but we don't talk about the attitudes that went with supporting that war." In some ways, Rilla is too complex for Canada in 2024 - we're past that initial blind allegiance to God and Country, but we haven't really replaced it with anything either. And that's a paradox nobody wants to acknowledge.
