Norway is out

[Pekka]

your metaphoras about taps and water are as boring as you. Ta-ta.

I think that sentence is identical in Danish and Swedish actually. But it aint Norwegian!

Denmark - Finland 3 - 3

[VetLegion]

If I had to choose where to visit, I think I'd choose Finland over Denmark. It's far far away and more exotic. It would be an adventure to go to Finland. No would --will--, as I plan to do it sooner or later.

But to live, I'd rather choose Denmark. 1) I'm affraid of knives, and I'm even more affraid of people who carry knives around. 2) Denmark has a better climate. 3) I think Danes are more civilized, no offense meant to the Finns. 4) When I was a kid I had few legos, so I have some traumas I need to deal with.

Denmark is just like Holland. Or rather, Holland is just like Denmark.
Finland otoh, is just like Sweden.

Nah, it isn't pure danish although it makes sense. A more correct way of saying it would be :

Nu er du svar skyldig, Winston.

or

Der blev du svar skyldig, Winston.

Small differences, I know , but your original has a norwegian touch.

I guess that you are right that that swedes can say the same, but please don't ask me how to spell it - swedish has an awfull way of spelling ordinary words

[Pekka]

so I still understood your little pedophile language. Your own shame if you can't do more languages than your own and english.....

[Winston]

Norway is like Kuwait, only with more promiscuous royals, and snow.

[BlackCat]

Didn't say you couldn't understand it - just said you hit the wrong language - maybe you should take a lesson or two more in swedish

[Pekka]

No, I said I understand Swedish. Maybe you should take few English lessons, Mr. anus pain?

Maybe it was Norwegian after all... Remove the v in blev and voila, a totally different language. Oh and you probably should say nå instead of nu, but that's optional.

Nah, looks Danish to me.

And that difference you're talking about is nothing. Zero. Is there a rule against saying blev after nu? No. Zero, I tell you.


And I think it's spelled the exact same way in Swedish. Just ask Pekka.

[Winston]

Or Venezuela, with more wolfs and fewer coffee wholesalers. Political landscape very similar.

I'm sure we managed to get a few of 'em....

'Those sharp words don't bother Delisle. She enjoys driving her nationalist opponents crazy. In her new book, Delisle is challenging conventional Quebec wisdom that during the time of the Second World War, Quebec was an inward-looking place that didn't think much about the fascist regimes in Europe. That is a "big lie," Delisle says in her typically pointed way. In fact, she says, Quebec's priests, lawyers and academics were well aware of European-style fascism, and some of them liked it. Not surprisingly, most Quebec academics prefer to ignore that chapter of Quebec history, says John Hellman, a history professor at McGill, where Delisle did her postdoctoral research. Quebec academics don't want to dredge up memories of how the elite supported fascist regimes, he says. "It's terribly embarrassing."

Delisle can't wait to make them blush. She has spent the last few years coming archives in Canada, the united States and France, tracking down more than a dozen Nazi collaborators who came to Quebec after the war, as well as the prominent Quebecers who helped them. As we known now, many other nazi collaborators were also welcomed by sympathizers in many other parts of Canada, but so far, few historians have chased after them in the way Delisle is doing in her home province. She tells the story of Jacques de Bernonville, a senior police officer in Vichy France who hunted down resistance fighters during the war. Condemned to death in France, he came to Quebec under an assumed name in 1946. When immigration authorities discovered who he was in 1948 and ordered him out of the country, 143 Quebec notables signed a petition defending him. De Bernonville's supporters included the secretary general of the Université de Montréal and Camille Laurin, a student who would later (in 1976) become a senior Parti Québécois cabinet minister. Another collaborator, French Nazi propagandist Paul Reifenrath, came to Quebec under an assumed name and was sent by Union Nationale premier Maurice Duplessis to the Vatican in 1949 as his unofficial envoy.

Even the mayor of Montreal through the Thirties, Camillien Houde, supported fascist leaders like Italy's Mussolini. Henri Bourassa, the founder and former editor of Le Devoir, praised European fascist regimes as late as the summer of 1943. Polls showed the majority of Quebecers supported the Pétain regime in France, even in 1943, when it was increasingly clear that Pétain was collaborating with the Nazis. '

True
One of the parties in the new gov even wants to exterminate the wolves. Don't know what they're going to do with the coffee wholesalers though, but I bet it won't be pretty.

Hell, there was even a British Waffen-SS unit, the "Britisches Freikorps" or something along those lines.

The people of my country who volunteered to fight for the Germans were deployed on the Eastern front against the Soviets. I hardly think they were fighting any Canadians there.

I'm not sure of the exact number of those, but I was under the impression it was far lower than the number joining allied forces, including large numbers of sailors abroad, determined to help allied trans-atlantic supply efforts. And I distinctly remember Mj. Lassen being the only non-British soldier awarded a VC during WWII, posthumously.
