History is history but what point is there in clinging to it when it's not how things are today? That old colonial Canada is one that's 100% foreign to me. When I meet 'old guard' Canadians I always have a hard time relating to them. I don't get them at all no matter how hard I try.

So you were born in the UK, spent part of your younger years there before coming to Canada, and you have trouble related to the kids, grandkids and great-grandkids of people who mostly came from the UK themselves in the latter part of the 1800s and in the 20th century?
That seems to be an extreme level of
granularity in terms of the type of people that you can relate to.
