Um, an Englishman coming here, pretending to be O.G., while taking advantage of a much younger indigenous woman? That is, historically, not a bad metaphor for Canada.

Photo is Archibald Belaney, stage name Grey Owl, and the beaver was a pet because his young girlfriend didn’t like how he ran his trapline.
