I just about remember the Miner's Strike, and IRA bombs going off in London. Let's not de-polarise the past in our memories.

There were certainly polarizing events in the past. Canada has no shortage of important events including the Quebec referendum. But i've never felt like i was under continuous pressure from one news cycle to the next.
