加拿大的智慧在于不求完美的一致,但求和平的共处;这个国家的基础不是单一的种族或文化,而是通过不断的妥协、协议和多元共存建立起来的。

Lena: 哎,Miles,我前两天看地图,发现加拿大和美国那条边界线长得离谱,而且连个围栏都没有。我就在想,这世界第二大国家,当初是怎么在英国和法国眼皮子底下“攒”出来的?
Miles: 这个过程确实挺有意思的。很多人以为加拿大历史是从欧洲人划船过来开始的,但其实早在三万多年前,原住民就在育空那边活动了。不过,你要是看那种“探险大片”,最早到那儿的欧洲人其实不是英法,而是维京人。
Lena: 真的假的?维京海盗?我一直以为他们只在北欧那一带折腾。
Miles: 没错,公元986年左右,有个叫莱弗·艾瑞克森的维京领袖,带着人在现在的纽芬兰建过村庄。想象一下,那群穿着皮草、拿着斧头的维京人,在荒凉的海岸线上刚安顿下来,结果没多久就被当地的印第安人给“淹没”了,最后只能撤走。
Lena: 听起来像是个还没开始就结束的序章啊。那后来法国人和英国人是怎么卷进去,甚至还为了抢地盘打得不可开交的?
Miles: 这就得从圣劳伦斯河上的那场“圈地竞赛”说起了。
