Speechless.

This entire thread is speechless.

I tried to find this thread the other day through the search function. First thing I did: search up threads started by Rogue Juror.

It wasn't there.

As it happened I knew the exact title of the thread so that worked.

Much to my surprise ---> Blitty started it. Who knew?

Not me.



I feel like I have an idea what the thread is about but I'm not sure I could put it into words.

Interculturalism refers to support for cross-cultural dialogue and challenging self-segregation tendencies within cultures. Interculturalism involves moving beyond mere passive acceptance of a multicultural fact of multiple cultures effectively existing in a society and instead promotes dialogue and interaction between cultures.

This is a sugar maple tree.

I'd tap that.

 

[Mudcat]

Some Canadian humor for you there.

 

[roguejuror]

That's the leave on the flag?

 

[Mudcat]

Yes, a sugar maple leaf was used as a model for the flag.

Unfortunately, sugar maples only grow in the east half of the country - so there was some controversy about the choice in the mid 60's when we moved to replace the Union Jack - but ultimately, the decision was made to basically screw all those western guise.

They should have used some hay from Saskatchewan to keep it neutral.

One alternative was the Red Ensign flag which had been used as a de facto Canadian flag at times in our early history.

Here is an 1891 election poster featuring Sir John A. MacDonald, Canada's first Prime Minister, holding a Red Ensign flag, while on the shoulders of a couple Canadian dorks.

Wait.. Manitoba is the one in the middle.. what is Manitoba famous for?

 

[Mudcat]

Depends who you ask I guess.

Some very good curlers have come from Manitoba. Jeff Stoughton has won a couple World Championships. Same for Don "Doogie" Duguid. Olympic gold medalist Jennifer Jones is from Manitoba.

Many good hockey players including Olympic gold medalists - and Stanley Cup champs - Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith.

Hall of Famer Bobby Clarke is from Flin Flon Manitoba.

Hockey players and curlers. Surprise!!

Injuns and angry white hillbillies.
