(1900) JOHN BULL: Comme ces Canadiens se souviennent bien, comme ils sont reconnaissants de la tendresses que j'ai témoignée à leurs pères!

Why would French-Canadians want to go and fight for the oppressors oversees?
Many of the cartoons that I use in class were taken from this book by Charles Hou (former Socials 10 teacher in BC):
