What a 'biased' column.
Obviously this young woman seems to feel that her "idealization & devaluation" neurotic premise in describing "The English" is acceptable; especially when describing.. "Portraits of stoic Brits during the Blitz are adorably misleading. Honest accounts of the time reveal a population blind-drunk and irretrievably slutty. A far cry from the image we’ve been sold.."

?"adorably misleading"?"blind-drunk & irretrievable slutty"? What Rubbish

Ms. Cormier appears to enjoy deprecating "The English"& their tragic histories. 

Cormier's column seems primarily about putting-down 'The English' only to then kindof 'suck up' with a glorification of our salty French-Canadian's Life in London.

Do note: There are many Canadians who had Mothers, Fathers, Grandparents & extended Family die during the German campaign to bomb the living hell out of "The English".
Hitler enjoyed his laugh only temporarily though. Eh, mademoiselle?

 Nothing Joyful about this article given its Bias.
