For shame Ontario!

One of my profs today started describing a liberal arts college to us, stating, "these don't exist in Canada, only in America."

And I was all, like, "ummmmm, if they don't exist in Canada, then how did I go to one?"

This led to a rather long (and completely off-topic for the course) exchange where he explained to me what exactly a liberal arts college was, and I explained to him that yes, Mount A and St FX and Acadia were indeed that.

But seriously folks. I don't expect a layman off the streets of Ontario to know of these schools, but somebody in academia should know. There aren't that many Canadian universities to keep track of, dudes!

I'm also discovering that nobody in Ontario knows what an Acadian is. Seriously? I learned about them in high school and that was way the hell over in BC. A province as close to the Maritimes as Ontario should definitely be teaching this stuff to their youth.

Okay, enough bitterness. I think I am just run down today and when that happens, I take out my anger on the province. Like railing against whitey, it calms me down.
