Hi NorthOf45....
Speaking of snubs...do you remember how long it took Chretien to finally make his way down to Ground Zero? It was long after other leaders had taken the time and cared enough to go.
My daughter, hubby and 3 little girls are in Greenwood for a 3 year deployment - he's a U.S. Navy P3 pilot "on loan" to Canada.
They love it in Nova Scotia. They tell me it's my kind of place - (I grew up with my grandparents in northern Maine, not far from the border (New Brunswick) back when family and values and God were paramount.) They tell me it's like I write about (16 years of columns about my childhood and the "old" ways) and that'd I'd fit right in. They love the the people of Nova Scotia...
