From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-06-06:

"The U.K. is a European Quebec, and France is like Ontario in Canada. It is quite an irony, isn't it?" -- John Erik Fossum, a political theorist at the Centre for European Studies in Oslo. Quoted in "Europe's suddenly a lot like Canada", The Globe and Mail, 31 May, 2005.

[And a very happy 140th anniversary to my friends up north! Have I got it right, that the holiday celebrating the anniversary is tomorrow 'cause today's a Sunday?]

Yes: if July 1 is a Sunday, the holiday is on the 2nd. (This is giving Quebec two consecutive three-day weekends, because the same holds for Jean Baptiste, on 24 June.)

That hasn't actually stopped too many people from celebrating since about, oh, dunno, 4:30 on Thursday afternoon...

The sheer number of drunk people walking around the neighbourhood last night was astonishing, and I live about two blocks from a bar, so I'm kind of used to the phenomenon.
