And it was PVC who said he has nothing in common with the Greeks, the Spaniards and the Italians, all of whom were ironically all part of the roman empire that you both now say defines some kind of common europeanality.

The point is that Canada needs to improve and you British can stop pretending that you do not belong into a group with other Europeans.
