I served on the HMCS Elizabeth for a few months back in 2315.  She was the first Canadian heavy cruiser in Aneerin’s fleet and he wanted someone who knew Canadians to help ease them into the fold.  Here’s the secret.  Canadians are Americans too, especially in the west.  I spent a lot of time partying with them as a kid.  They are lovely people.  Quebec is full of crazy people though.  Lucky me, the Elizabeth was full of westerners.  Easiest orientation cruise ever.
