Canada has a wonderful, varied and multicultural history. Yes, the British played a significant role in its history. But so did France. Not to mention The Ukraine, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, a host of East European nations, India, China, Japan (just a few of the Asian countries) and Africa. Oh, I should mention Cree, Algonquin, Haida, Inuit, etc....did I miss anyone? Not intentional, but it is a rather long list...pretty much every nation on this earth. How about Americans, Mexicans, Peruvians, Australians, New Zealanders...I needn't go on. So I defend "Mr cranky pants" when our country is erroneously relegated as the younger sibling of Britain. We are Canadian, and damn proud of it! Humph! Now, back to my Merlot (too early for scotch...) And being Canadian, I hope I've made my point in the most diplomatic manner possible ;-) jm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeffery Smith" <jls@runbox.com> To: "'Leica Users Group'" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 6:52 PM Subject: RE: [Leica] BRITISH and CANADIANS! > Mr. Crankypants has struck again! :-) > > Jeffery Smith > New Orleans, LA > > > -----Original Message----- > From: lug-bounces+jls=runbox.com@leica-users.org > [mailto:lug-bounces+jls=runbox.com@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Ted > Grant > Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 5:43 PM > To: Leica Users Group > Subject: Re: [Leica] BRITISH and CANADIANS! > > Paul Hardy Carter said in error!!! > > As a matter of fact I'm British! > > > > But then so are Canadians!<<< > > Oh my goodness you could be horse whipped to the point of yer last > breathe > with that erroneous comment my good man! > > Damn you sir.. we are Canadians and that has nothing to do with being > British! > > MANY OF US MAY HAVE COME FROM BRITISH STOCK BUT WE'RE DAMN WELL > CANADIANS > AND DON'T YOU EVER FORGET IT! > > And after that little snap I don't suppose you ever will!
