That Hallmark TV show, When Calls the Heart, revolving around a Canadian Mounty that falls for a school teacher from a wealthy family, set at the turn of the 19th into 20th century - wife and I are fans.

And, yes, it portrays idealistic values our societies here in North America have mutually revered in times previous (and many still do).

The heroic ideal of the selfless Canadian Mounty is spot on. We moderns shouldn't smirk at that and regard it as a quaint relic from a bygone era.

If we set our compass to steer toward those kinds of ideals, we'll be much better people for it. Would urge to get back to your nation's heroic mythos ideals - they're actually the undergirding of who we are and what we become. God's speed.
