Coles TransNationals: Reclaiming Your National Identity Beyond Birth at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

Nationality is not just an accident of birth—it's a choice of the soul.
We are told from birth that nationality is something fixed, unquestionable, and unchangeable. But what if that's not true? What if your heart, your loyalty, and your deepest sense of belonging reside in a country other than the one printed on your birth certificate?
In TransNationals, Benjamin A. Templar dismantles the outdated notion that nationality is determined by geography. Instead, he introduces the concept of TransNationalism—the experience of consciously choosing and fully embracing a new homeland, not just legally, but culturally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Through bold comparisons, real-life stories, and deep philosophical insight, this groundbreaking book explores:
✅ Why accent dictates national perception—and how mastering a native accent erases all doubts about belonging.
✅ The truth about dual citizenship—why true TransNationals embrace only one national identity, rejecting divided allegiances.
✅ The ethics of immigration—why true TransNationals respect the laws of their chosen country and stand against illegal immigration.
✅ The "burn the ships" mindset—why full commitment is the key to true national integration.
✅ Historical and modern-day parallels—from the Falkland (Malvinas) Islands dispute to the transgender experience, exploring how identity is shaped by perception and personal truth.
✅ How language, culture, and loyalty determine true belonging—and why those who fully assimilate are often more devoted than native-born citizens.
More than just a book on national identity, TransNationals is a manifesto for those who refuse to be bound by the constraints of birthplace. It's for those who feel a profound connection to a country they were not born in, yet call home with unwavering devotion.
