6 June 1944 ; 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, 1st Canadian Army ; assaults Juno Beach


Recommended Posts

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.

from Queenston Heights to Ridgeway

from the Ypres Salient to the Hundred Days

from the beach at Dieppe to Juno Beach

a nation forged in fire to win the great wars,  for civilization itself

Regiment, Colours, Commander-in-Chief

Vive la Canadianne

Je me souviens

Newfoundland was a British colony at the time, not yet within Confederation

Newfoundland did not join Canadian Confederation until 31 March 1949

the Motto of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment is Better Than The Best

Colonel-in-Chief is HRH Princess Anne, The Princess Royal

the Quick March of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment is The Banks of Newfoundland

Slow March is The The Garb of the Old Gaul

This is my greatest fear.

As before August 1914, in 2024 an elite believes that it has solved problems.

It's even more naive to believe that there will never be any problems that require solving. 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.
