"As always, Canada will now bury its war dead, just as the rest of the world, as always, will forget its sacrifice, just as it always forgets nearly everything Canada ever does.

Canada is the perpetual wallflower that stands on the edge of the hall, waiting for someone to come and ask her for a dance."
