You have just read an article that discusses national loyalty, "Stretch of 401 to be renamed 'Highway of Heroes'", provided by CTV news. This article discusses how this section of the major Canadian highway is where our beloved men and women who serve our country, and who have been killed in action (KIA), give their final 'salute' to Canadian citizens.

I agree with the renaming of the highway because it is a way of Canada coming together and appreciating the good that the Canadian Army does for this country. It brings us together as a nation to remember those who died in the armed frces, so yes, i agree with the renaming if the highway.

I agree with the topic and believe that Canada's fallen heroes should have something such as this to honor their memories. The men and women that have died fight for ours' and others' freedoms deserve to have a monument erected in remembrance of their sacrifices. In my opinion this does portray nationalist loyalties in Canada. I would say that because of the fact that by naming the highway so, we are honoring Canada's fallen soldiers and therefore we are also honoring Canada itself as both a country and a nation

I agree with renaming the highway because the support that the residents, police officers and fire fighters are showing, explains exactually why Canada became a nation in the first place. They show a great amount of respect to the fallen soliders and by doing this, it shows that they love their country as well as the people in it.

i believe there is a sense of national loyaltie because one guy went out of his way to get signatures from citzens in order to change the name of the highway. once everyone seen what he was doing they were inspired. more and more people started to sign the patition everyday. i agree with it because someone is trying to change the name of a highway in respect of the canadian troops that have fallen.

i agree that it potrays nationalist loyalties in canada because the canadian citizens all support the idea of honouring the soldiers that died for us and they are coming together by signing the petition.

Yes, I believe that this portrays nationalist loyalties in Canada. The Canadian Army shows a lot of passion for their country by risking their life for us which is an example of nationalism. By renaming the highway also shows how loyal our country is towards our soldiers. And the last way i find that really shows how much people in our country are loyal to our country is because 20,000 people signed the "Highway of Heros" to show their support

i believe that it shows nationalism because we are supporting the people who have fought, and supported our country in the war. By changing the name of the highway to, "Highway of Heroes," we are showing how proud we are as a country and nation, in memory of these brave soldiers. I agree with changing the name, because i think it is, like i said before, just showing everyone how proud and grateful we are to have had these people fight for us as a country.

I agree with the renaming of the highway, nationalism is shown through those showed up to supported those who lost there life fight for all our fights. Changing the name will show how we all feel as a nation about the cause they are fighting for, we are showing how proud and happy we are of those who were brave enough to stand up for what they believe in.
