Harold says, in his time, you couldn't be Canadian, you had to be someone else (Ukrainian, Polish, German, etc.) and Harold didn't like that, so he rebelled against it. Harold played hockey with German and Dutch kids who were good friends, and Harold's own people ran him down. Harold says that, as a nation, they could not separate themselves from their own identity. Harold's father told him \"if a good man is a good man, make him your friend\". Harold says that it was his own cultural group that would not allow cultural interaction.
