About un canadien errant
This blog derives its name from an old French-Canadian song about those exiled from Lower Canada after the 1837 rebellions.
I'm not too much of a rebel, and I'm definitely not in exile, but I am, one could say, a "wandering Canadian." Anyway, it's a good song. I recommend the Leonard Cohen version (Recent Songs, 1979). For lyrics, click here, and for a more detailed song history, click here.

Well Done!
If you're reading this, you've made it all the way down to the bottom of this page. I'm impressed. That's a lot of words you've just read (hopefully) or scrolled past (more realistically). Either way, thank you for your continued patronage of uncanadienerrant.blogspot.com.
