How our ancestors got to Canada is not of particular relevence. What is significant is that neither of us have to stay here. There are no Canadian border police to shoot us if we try to crawl over the barbed wire. We are totally free to emigrate to any country that will have us. I am not so totally determined to give up what we as a nation have, as you appear to be. I would much rather improve on our base as try to destroy it, as some would do. >bien a vous, y bce dobre do vas >Michel J. Tremblay >tremblay@philmtl.philips.ca Ed. A.
