“Our neighbor used to help me with my French homework so that I would do better in school. And French-Canadians were very happy to invite me onto the soccer team and to watch hockey games. My favorite food to this day is poutine. In fact, one of the main reasons I couldn’t live to leave the city is I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t have a poutine at least once a month. It is essential for my diet.”
