Um, an Englishman coming here, pretending to be O.G., while taking advantage of a much younger indigenous woman? That is, historically, not a bad metaphor for Canada.
Photo is Archibald Belaney, stage name Grey Owl, and the beaver was a pet because his young girlfriend didn’t like how he ran his trapline.

That beaver looks like the mom in What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

@PugJesus @SecularJeffrey This is what it says. It’s also a photo of Grey Owl, a famous English pretendian. https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/home/record?idnumber=3348587&app=FonAndCol&resource=folderlist&ecopy=e010861684-v8
