August1991 Posted June 9, 2023 Report Posted June 9, 2023 WTF were these guys doing in France in June 1944? A better question: wtf were Newfoundlanders doing in Belgium in 1916. ===== Europeans every century or so fight each other. For centuries, we Canadians have a civilised society. Despite our different languages and religions, we Canadians get along. Quote
August1991 Posted June 9, 2023 Report Posted June 9, 2023 Margaret Atwood wrote a novel about this wrong idea of Canada: Survival (Very badly written too.) ===== Canada? Survival? The history of Canada is that we compromise, we get along. Quote

No one remembers the people who believed that. We English-Canadians - by nature - seek a way to get along. Newfoundlanders survive. Moreover, Atwood writes bad dialogue. Unlike Roger Lemieux, she does not know how we speak. Quote
