So Who Won the War Paranoia
My Canadian History is quite rusty, and this is so not politically correct,,,,but if the English won the battle on the Plains of Abraham, THEN WHY,, WHEN THE POWER GOES OFF, AND THE TV IS TURNED ON-----DOES IT AUTOMATICALLY GO TO THE FRENCH STATION?
The French station that I never watch!!!!!!

Don't know - but I watch the Montreal Canadiens games on the RDS French channel...
I took a Canadian HIstory course while in BC, so I'm a self proclaimed authority on this subject.... The French lost this battle, ie, they came in second place. This meant that they were forever doomed to create crap tv shows, while the English speaking victors were able to showcase their tv show creating prowess.
That's what the 7 Years War (or as I learned it, La Guerre de Sept Ans) was really about. Why the French station comes on after power outages follows a similar logic, but one stemming out of English pity for the French channel: The English tried to console the constantly complaining French tv producers by promising them regular power outages throughout Canada, immediately after which, the French channel would forced into the living rooms of Canadians to help showcase what the French could do on tv.... At least until the viewer realized what they were watching and following a mad scramble to find the remote, changed back to American Idol.
ooooooooo. tough one you posed there. especially relevant in my head right this moment as I'm working on a film about my relationship with the English language... scary. ha ha.
Good one Mike-- you are the master of conspiracy theories!!! So it seems Indonesia and France are in cahoots to make our lives miserable!!
And H; I am so thankful that you communicate in English, so eloquently and powerfully, it was the avenue that joined our hearts!When I click that next blog icon, I have to pass by the ones written in a different language,,, I'm so glad you weren't a passby!!
