Loading ...Happy Canada Day !
I hope you can restore the country to what it was when I was a youngster – moral , and free !
BTW ; Only one grandparent survived to my birth . That was my maternal grandmother who was born in 1867 , the year of Canadian Confederation . She was born in a Scottish settlement on Cape Breton Island and spoke only Scots Gaelic until she started school .
She was widowed in 1903 when my mother was not yet weaned , and raised her five children on a small farm there , alone , and unaided by any government assistance . Now THERE is a model of a strong woman for today’s girls to exemplify !
