Watch out, as a non-Canadian I've just learned that the last *feudal rents* in Quebec were paid off in 1970. Corve labor may not be off the table yet.

I went to K-12 school with him in the same class most of the time. He did not have a roller backpack but he had serious roller backpack kid energy.

We used to torment him by saying that one of our classmates was gay but wouldn't tell him which one, which was very disturbing to him

I'm Qubcois and didn't know this. I'm not surprised though: the Seigneurie system lasted a long time. The Lords collaborated with the Church and the English government to keep the peasants down for most of Quebec's history.

Setting aside what Matt Gurney's grandfather was doing.

I absolutely hate when people ignore the continued Japanese occupation of China, Korea, Burma and other places around the Pacific. Where it wasn't shine sun and rainbows and "we should wait for Japan to starve", or "we should let Japan decide surrender terms (meaning keeping some imperial conquests)". Overall it's a horrendously complex situation where getting it reduced "atomic bombs bad" makes a mockery of it.

Imperial Japan was an awful regime that had to be stopped, and firebombing cities knowing full well you were slaughtering civilians was just a thing everyone did back then, but I just can't bring myself to use the word "necessary" to describe a quarter-million or so people, including children, being set on fire. I suppose that makes me an awful person because something like a million people had been killed by conventional bombing of Japan before then, and I've never once condemned that

I'm happy I'm not in charge of those sorts of decisions.

My grandfather fought in Burma, in the longest retreat in British history from Yangon to India, got a bad case of dysentry along the way, and bitterly hated the Japanese for his entire life. I don't know what his opinion about the atomic bombs were but I doubt he was against their use.

That said I'm not going to value his moral judgement over my own to conclude that the atom bombs were good. That's crazy.
