When I was young 50-60 years ago, there was a lot of talk about "he's a typical Englishman." Only we learned he wasn't. He was often a remittance man, an obnoxious snot sent overseas by family to get him out of the way. The English aren't that way at all. English suburb, I wish. Great people. I feel the same of our Quebecois, different, progressive and proudly French. I live in an Acadian parish, the first English and Protestant family to settle here in 200 years.
