All Canadians are our brothers.

Well, except for those who live in Quebec.

Or Nova Scotia.

I mean seriously - Nova Scotia? What the heck kind of name for a
province is Nova Scotia?

snip..

I thought you took Latin in school.
Nova Scotia was pretty big and important in colonial times...... until
that
ungrateful rabble south of the border stole a chunk for Maine and it was
further divided when the United Empire Loyalists came north after your
revolution and formed New Brunswick.

I notice they leave the Newfies alone. Afraid it might be catching?

As you probably know, Newfoundland was late joining Confederation... and a
lot didn't want to do it then.
1949 was the special year..... (a good year for exceptional people to be
born also).
Newfoundland Labrador was always the poor cousin, but with hugh oil & gas to
sell to the US, are now having the last laugh.
