It's been a handful of weekend that I visited Ottawa with three Montreal. Simply put, no one knew what to expect, we had heard all about the capital and then to force Quebec to support the cause, they probably hang out a negative image vis-à-vis the naughty-naughty English-not-nice-nice wanting to assimilate the brave French Quebec.
The Canadian Parliament:
After a journey safely aboard our luxurious Hyundai sunroof (it was outclassed \\ o /), we started our visit to Parliament Hill . We took the opportunity to visit building. Here, all provinces and all cultures are symbolically tied. Whether stained glass, frescoes and carved signs, all the decorations recall the history and diversity of Canada. Then we drove along the Ottawa River to the residence of the governor. Called "The Sussex", the road passes through some of the great museums of the city and several embassies.
The Library of Parliament and the War Memorial:
the evening we were fortunate to attend a show full band set by the Canadian army. We note especially the "favorite movie of the public" (says the guy at the microphone): the obstacle course, and the loser were treated to a dozen pumps. This is ultimately one of the finest Canadian anthems he has been seen. To set the scene: an opera singer, the band of the Navy and the National Guard, all the spectators standing and singing their hymns all on Parliament Hill for the sunset. Magic! In any case, Canadians seem to be much more patriotic than us.
Finally, we finished the evening with a sound and light show, still on Parliament Hill. It recalled the history of Canada and advocated the union of different Canadian cultures (Native American, French, English and new immigrants). A nice message of living together.
