Zathura Naito_Mitsukai Zathura He invoked the War Measures Act, basically he drove the tanks in and declared military rule. What could the French say? Trudeau was himself a French man, it wasn't some "Englishman" ...As if everyone else outside of Quebec is English. But they are stupid like that sometimes. My father's family insisted on calling my mother an English woman, despite the fact there isn't a drop of English blood in her. I hate the French Canadians.... and since I am one, I feel I can be prejudiced all I want Oh yeah! War Brides had it really rough! I recently finished an essay on 'em. It was particularly rough for those women entering French-Canadian families - not that it was much better for them anywhere else. sad Yeah... accept my mom wasn't a War Bride, they got married in 1972, and she was born in Canada xd I should probably read the whole thing before replying, eh? rofl instead of looking at key words! sweatdrop heart (Sorry, I've been tired/lazy lately) sweatdrop heart

Don't take my land? o___o You should learn your family history, it might entertain you immensely. And learn as much as you can while your older family members are alive, or everything dies with them.

I did learn what I could from my great grandmother when she was still alive, and I've read a bunch of stuff I've been able to find about her, as well as part of her autobiography.

What makes Canada cool cool During WW II a single room in Ottawa was ceded to the NetherlandsOttawa Tulip Festival Ottawa, Ontario - In 1943 Princess Margriet Francisca (younger sister of Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard, the current Queen of the Netherlands) was born at the Ottawa Civic Hospital - the only royal ever to be born in North America. The Dutch Royal Family had fled to Canada in 1940 after the WWII invasion of their country. Among their problems - the expected royal child needed to be delivered on Dutch territory to be a Dutch citizen. So, Canada ceded this one hospital maternity room temporarily to the Netherlands. Each year Ottawa receives 20,000 tulip bulbs from the Royal Family and the Dutch Bulb Growers, as a thank you for sheltering the Royal Family, and for Canada's help with liberation of the Netherlands during WWII. Each May the gardens of Ottawa burst into bloom and the city celebrates the world's largest tulip festival. About three million flowers blossom in the region, 300,000 of them at Commissioners Park near Dows Lake.

(For what it's worth, I remember McFarlane Toys [creator of the various Spawn toy lines] made a dual pack figure set for the two of them. This was quite some time ago, though.)
