100 - CANADA
Do we ever remember that somewhere above the sky in some child`s
dream perhaps
Jacques Cartier is still sailing, always on his way, always to
discover a new Canada?
- Mariam Waddington -
Nous souvient-il parfois qu`au-dessus du ciel quelque part dans un
rêve d`enfant peut-être
Jacques Cartier navigue encore, toujours en route, toujours sur le
point de découvrir un Canada nouveau?
