The british, of whom we were in large part composed at the time if you recall, never tried to exterminate us and/or take our country from us .... Canada was a refuge from that sort of thing, for the french, for the indians, for the loyalists
The Lount case i do not know well, from that link it looks like he was a US national who took an oath of allegiance which he subsequently broke by taking up arms against the guvmint of the day .... which guvmint had become cliquey and corrupt in the intervening years since the escape from the thirteen colonies, to be sure, and we internally fixed that, our business not yours
All places run by human beings have internal problems, we had and continue to have lots, nothing to compare with your 1860s style of bloodletting of course, mostly paper shuffling here until the outright fascist aggression begins, but it keeps the paper mills running, and is enough to give us something to talk about between ourselves
.. have to go now, too bad, definitely in typing mood following sight of anti-canadian comments all over .... cheers |
