He’s new in Montreal. So far a few good reviews. Interesting.
Canadians and the Dutch have a love affair based on WWII. The.Canadian army liberated Holland.

My experience with Dutch people has always been positive. This guy would be 2 generations away tho so might need reminding lol.

I've heard Dutch people still learn in school about Canada's sacrifice for their freedom, and schools still send groups of students to maintain the graves of fallen Canadians.  Canada has a great reputation in much of Europe.

They are the tallest people in the world and this long drink of water looks as though length and height are proportional.  Too bad he is not traveling to the US at this time.  

From my personal experience the Dutch are really quite tall.

A quick history lesson. The Dutch Queen was in Ottawa during the war. One of her daughters was born there. The hospital room was declared Dutch territory so the Princess would have Dutch citizenship.  The Netherlands still sends Canada a large number of Tulip bulbs as a thank you.

Yes, that was an important event.
