I'm guessing that many of the younger members of the crowd may have either been born here or have been here since they were very young. They speak both languages fluently (it appears) but they speak English without an accent (okay, okay, I really mean with a Canadian accent). They're part of that huge group in this country that are really more "Canadian" than anything else, but they (likely due to their parents) retain strong emotional ties to the "mother country". Yet, they're so Canadianized that they could never realistically go back "home" to live - they'd always be outsiders. It must be a very difficult position to be in. Youth seem over-represented at such rallies, but maybe that's because protesting is a youthful thing to do... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
