Canadian flag on the backback myth
In article oVXuc.45$793.43@newsfe3-gui,
"nick" wrote: "Xomicron" wrote in messag I was just wondering, is it really true that most Canadian's believe the myth that people in the rest of the world will treat them better if they know they are Canadian. Don't Americans pretend to be Canadians while travelling to avoid being spat at and abused? A few years ago while I was in Scotland we visited one of the fishing ports on the east coast. All of the fishing boats were flying at least one Canadian flag because that was just after the Canadian gov't had kicked the Spanish off the Grand Banks for overfishing. Apparently the Spanish fleet had the same reputation in European waters as well so the Scottish fishermen were happy when Canada took action that they thought their gov't should have been doing too. We stayed at B&B's and the biggest apology I ever got was from an owner who originally thought we were Americans and then realized we were Canadian. The reservation had been made through a district tourist office earlier in the day and I guess the person making the reservation said we were American. Many of the B&B's in both Scotland and Ireland would ask the person making the reservation where we were from. This gave us the impression that certain nationalities were less welcome than others. -- Don Dickson --multiplaza.nl.nu-- |
