It's just the Canadian way Cashy, so laid back they're virtually comatose, I mean, if they were friendly enough to accept me & thousands of other British troops being embarrassing in their Towns (all in the past I hasten to add

), what a lovely bunch of people.

I often think of what my life would have been like if I had stayed put. Right up until the time I got on the plane (yes, we had them back then;

it was a BEA turbo prop, a "Viscount" maybe, for a connecting flight to London) I was in two minds. When I saw the big red maple leaf on the tail plane of the DC 10, everything started to seem, well, foreign. But last time I flew Air Canada out of Heathrow, and saw the same emblem, I knew I was on my way home.

That's heart warming.

Even though Canada's your home, your still one of us too.

Home is where your heart is, but also where your roots are.

You're like one of those fancy plants they produce.

A red rose, grafted on to a maple tree.

Na I think the real reason Eric has made Canada his home is there ain't to muck Moose hunting on Wilsons playing fields
