We Stand On Guard For... Eatting Utensils?

A school in Quebec punished a Filipino student for eating with a fork and a spoon. The reason the principle of the school allegedly gave to the mother of the child is “this is not the way Canadians eat; you have to adapt to Quebec society." I must have missed something, there is a way Canadians eat?” They must have forgotten to add that one in the citizenship test. They may have a specific way that they eat in Quebec, I don’t know. I have seen all kinds of ways of eating there, with fingers, unwashed, deep into large bowls of poutine. Now, poutine, that is one gloriously tasty food that is against all culinary, nutritional conventions and etiquettes. Yet, if there is a signature dish of Quebec, poutine would be it. Out here in Lotusland, we use all utensils in all combinations to eat all cuisines. Come to think of it, maybe we all have become so un-Canadian that we have completely lost our way. Maybe we need an anti-Canadian investigation to go through our everyday activities, the way we walk, the way we sleep, the way we wash ourselves, and the way we type, just to name a few examples. Who know, maybe the way we put on our socks has already undermined the fundamental values of our country to the core! Vigilance must be constant!
