I'll admit I run hot and cold with Ms. Wentes's writing, but I do keep reading. But thanks Globe for keeping me interested with what I might read.

I've not seen the series yet and and as a Canadian that loves to read about our history, I will watch the series...good for CBC they did step up and put it together... and once I see it I will make up my mind.  I do think overlooking the story of the Acadians was a big mistake. In any case, all good they made the series.

And by the way, completely convinced that Champlain might not look like he was about to arrive at Versailles...he was in Canada, not going to court, so all good if he looks like he is in our wilderness and a bit scruffy .

Oh Canada, we're a complicated country...not perfect, but thankfully we're here and still a country...love living here ....we could be in a lot worse places.
