August1991 Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August1991 Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
