“Canadian winters are long. Life is hard and so is ice.”
Douglas Coupland, Souvenir of Canada
“In Canada, when we speak of water, we're speaking of ourselves. Canadians are known to be unextravagant, and one explanation of this might be that we know that wasted water means a diminished collective soul; polluted waters mean a sickened soul. Water is the basis of our self-identity, and when we dream of canoes and thunderstorms and streams and even snowballs, we're dreaming about our innermost selves.”
Douglas Coupland, Souvenir of Canada
