There. Much better with a little change.
I came from England to Canada and found for example that one cannot quaff a can of beer in an Ontario recreational park. They would certainly tell me where to get off, if I told them I could do this in merry old England and why not here? I just adjoin to the local watering hole, if I so need a drink.
There is an underlying lesson for us all here and I include our American friends. No longer do some immigrants from some awful environment, come and toe the line.They should be grateful to join in and yet hold a few reservations if they wish. They have been told by someone, (wonder who?) society must conform to THEIR practices.
A bit of a ramble for which I hope to be excused.
Canada Ping!
