  • A Tour of Eastern Canada
    ONE SYSTEM, TWO COUNTRIES? A Tour of Eastern Canada Kingston – Thousand Islands – Ottawa – Montreal – Quebec Old Town Text and Images: © John Biggs 2010 www.johnbiggs.com.au One System, Two Countries: A Tour of Eastern Canada 2 ONE SYSTEM, TWO COUNTRIES? A Tour of Eastern Canada It is 1994, and I am on study leave from Hong Kong University, partly to finish a book that John, an excolleague from Newcastle days now here at Queen’s University, and I had planned some time ago. We quickly discover that in the intervening time the book had evolved differently inside our respective skulls, and after unsuccessful negotiation, we agree to keep our friendship and drop the book. Which is nice, because Kingston is an ideal place for exploring Eastern Canada, perched as it is midway between Toronto and Montreal, the virtual capitals of the two Canadas. Hong Kong and China may be one country, two systems, as they put it, but I am to learn that here there is one system, two countries. Nearly three countries. When driving to Niagara-on-the-Lake (not Niagara Falls, which is entirely different) I passed the imposing Brock Monument, which commemorates the War of 1812-14 in which the Americans invaded Canada. Some say the invasion was a diversionary tactic in a trade war with Britain, others that the US was determined to incorporate Canada. Thanks to Major Brock that didn’t happen – then – but the US have been trying to get Canada back by cultural stealth ever since, using seduction of the young as their main strategy, backed up by Free Trade agreements.
