Forrest Gump wrote: ↑Sat Dec 10, 2022 9:23 am Yes , both parents from there (Yugoslavia/Croatia). And I wasn't born there nor in Canada but in Italy. Basically my parents were escaping communism and like a lot of people post war in 50's and 60's were looking for a better life and heard about Canada. It was a tough go, initially they tried Austria but got caught ,went to jail for a few days and then sent back. They then tried again, walking for miles and miles through fields and farms and then hopping on a train illegally heading for Italy,trapped in an enclosed car with some other people and no windows. It was especially tough for my mother as she was pregnant with me with very little food for several days. They finally busted out of the car when it seemed like they were in Italy. They then bumped into someone who suggested going to a nearby Catholic refugee camp in the town of Salo. What a miracle,and that is where I was born . Then another miracle occurred as someone there heard about our desire to go to Canada and sponsored us , we were given a one way boat ticket to Montreal, and as they say, the rest is history.
Wow... That's one heck of journey and an emotional rollercoaster for sure.

Always cool to hear people's stories about them or their family/ancestors and everything that happened in their journey from the old country to Canada. Thanks for sharing.

If England lose (as looks likely), Morocco is going to be my meme team.

Also, if Croatia Morocco does happen, called it.

Harry Kane is always my arch nemesis. First, he's a Tottenham player. And an England player. :lol:

And he always scores against Arsenal! :x

He will never live that down. So unfortunate. I remember Beckham doing the exact same thing.
