Political Dialogue

Posted by Damon Schreiber (Toronto, Canada) on 20 November 2007 in Art & Design and Portfolio.

In a lovely nod to bilingualism, the final line reads, 'Fucking Canadian de mes deux fesses!' which I could translate, but not as poetically.

@Daroru: Well, it isn't too subtle - luckily there's no accompanying graphic illustration, though, oddly enough, I did receive two attempts at illustration in my inbox.

Reza from Montreal, Canada

Hahaha, Great catch Damon.

Guillermina from Buenos Aires, Argentina

As if it were not enough with the graffiti... "Canada (?)", laughing out loud.
You have a great sense of humor!

(It's a bit sad, though, come to think about it all...)

@Guillermina: Funny but sad - well that's political dialogue for you. Gracias, Guillermina!

amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada

It's very sad. Why can't they just be Canadian with their French heritage; like the rest of us Canadians who have rich cultures and heritages but embrace what Canada is... sorry.. had to go there.

I agree with Amy. Having lived outside of Canada for 7 years now, one of the things I am most proud of is Canada's bilingual nature. The people who want a "free Quebec" are just as ignorant as the people who despise the french province. Canada is a combination of its parts and an excellent example of how 'different' need not mean 'separate'.

@Aaron Schmidt: Thanks, Aaron! Quebec's great; Canada's great; why can't we all just get along :)

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

Further to Amy and Aaron's comments, I wanted to say that I was born in Montreal and live in Quebec, and I am what is referred to as 'Pure Laine' as in long line of quebecois from the very first settler, and I am Canadian through and through, it's the best country in the world, I love Canada for its multiculturalism and shame on those who want to divide this wonderful nation!

@Lorraine: I shall call you 'Pure Lorraine' then!
