Autumn?

Maybe that’s what they call it at Harvard. But here in Canada we Real Canadians know that the season between summer and winter is called fall. Because that’s what leaves do. And then we rake them into piles. And set them on fire.

Whatever.

Michael Ignatieff. Talks like a nerd. Not in touch with Real Canadians.
