Man, Fritz, you really have it in for Canada, don't you? LOL.

He does. Canada and the Iroquois are his go-to throughout his life for "the epitome of uncivilized." Much like we say "Timbuktu" to mean "so far away idek where it is or if it even exists" (which apparently Malians, understandably, don't appreciate).

That's really a neat thing for Goethe to have said, especially as a reply to just having gotten his entire discipline trashed, hee.

I can see why Goethe is BFFs with Carl August, Master of Chill (and son of good mom).
