Obviously, Ms. Cormier feels emboldened to broadcast to Canada her "idealization & devaluation" of "The English" in London, especially in her writing (c)"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.."(c)

?adorably?? misleading"?
Translation: Mean-girls manipulative sarcasm.

?blind-drunk & irretrievable slutty"?
Translation: Derisive put-down of French Canada.. oh wait! sorry, the English of 'adorable' London.

The underlying bigotry of this column is stultifying -- but then, didn’t the ‘mean-girls’ in junior high espouse with an underlying ‘hatred’ towards its victims?

Just for the record, there are many Cdns whose mothers, fathers, grandparents and/or children who died during Germany's campaign to bomb the living-hell out of "The English", but then, Ms. Cormier appears to enjoy her humiliation of "The English"& tragic histories.
