"OUR COUNTREEE REEEEEEKS, OF TREEEEEES..." - The Royal Canadian Kilted
Yaksmen, "Ren and Stimpy". For a surrealist cartoon, this is almost
journalism.
The murikans I know who came back from Iraq were not exactly lounging
around the Green Zone. But yeah, Canada has a historical proclivity for
sending inordinate quantities of young men to defend the Empire. WWI
was very hard on 'em, and WWII saw vast numbers of Canadians overseas.
One of 'em even sired Eric Clapton.
