Funny how there are fewer blacks in the area, I lived that nature seen in Jasper for a while mid 80's. Very few brothers.
And yet, Canada was the haven for so many slaves escaping the US way back when Abe Lincoln fought the good fight.
Montreal is so multi-cultural. A paradise for those who can appreciate diversity in both demeanor and cuisine.
I am sure, ReservoirDod, that you gained more life experience during that period that many would not gain in a lifetime.
You lived, you learned. So many people go through their lives with blinders on. Not you!
Kudo's, brother. You are a survivor!
Please... Pay it forward!
Morning Scott, apologies for the late reply.
I knocked about in Jamestown and area ( TO. ) when young, my Jamaican accent came naturally back then.
Drove my Irish parents nuts.
Wish I could have you over for curry , Narinder my best friend growing up, his father taught me how to make curry chicken, Rita, Roti, Nan, Dahl and many other dishes.
You'll have to throw the TP in the freezer before sampling my curry.
Having an Italian grocery store next door growing up was the greatest.
I learned to hunt with a bunch of Italian gentlemen.
Love Italian cuisine.
Toronto or my neighborhood hood of it was multicultural.
I got off topic
I'm a better person for it.
Oh yeah I love Montreal Terrific place.
And stay tuned, you will enjoy the rest of the summer.
R.D. is going to tell us a little more of wonderful life.
I'll get a few more stories out of him before harvest, more interesting than my plants. Hehe.
We can all gain from his wisdom.
Have a good day my friend.
Stay safe
Bill
