O Canada

judge

Today I had to appear in front of a judge. There were 375 of us, from 72 nationalities. The judge went through the whole list of countries, from Afganistan to Zimbabwe. Somewhere in the middle I noticed Iran, Iraq and Israel, bien étonées de se trouver ensemble.

And then we all took the oath, first in French and then in English:

I affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada and fulfil my duties as a Canadian Citizen.

And then we sang:

And then I shed some tears.

And now I need a beer.

    Een grote stap voor een mens, en voor de mensheid een klein kutstapje. Wat leuk dat ik nu een echte Canadees ken!
