hoib, Canadians don't "lurk", they observe with polite interest.
err, is "raging fascism" perhaps just a touch over the top?
From further down the same thread dbd linked to. I liked that.

In the context of quebec nationality, it comes from what iaink said, and means pretty much "i must remember who i am"...
However it is also used by the French Canadian military, in the context of "I must remember"... equivalent to "Lest we forget".... I prefer the latter interpretation :-)
