Default OK Bruce....

We didn't go, although we were in Corseulles. The thing is, I've seen a detailed video account of its contents and theme, and I was - frankly - disgusted. Funnily enough, I saw interviews with some Canadian D-Day vets shortly after I returned, which vindicated the impression that the Centre has damn-all to do with D-Day and everything to do with the Liberal Party's vision of a multicultural Canada. They weren't very pleased, and said so on camera.

I did meet Garth Webb on the street in Corseulles and was suitably deprecating, but I'm glad I didn't go to his Centre... it would simply have angered me.

It's typical of what happens when our government muscles its way into something the public initially subscribes to in the absence of government interest.

Call it the essence of "Politically Correct" in the place where it least belongs.

That good enough for a start?
