Perhaps the schools were intended to teach us the meaning of the egg? Or our parents were supposed to get it? I dunno...I always just thought it was a metaphor of sticktuitiveness. Ya know...try to fix something, it borks, try again. Your explanation makes more sense, for sure, but how are morning-cartoon kids supposed to get the true meaning?

But the Flin Flon one and the one with the voyageurs and the woman who brought her piano on the canoe? But as far as my brother and I were concerned, The Métis Coat was a full minute of wasted TV time! It went on and on and on and on ... and there wasn't even a story!!! Frankly, I think the NFB misled us by having Saturday-morning advertisements that were 90% cartoon shorts. And then one art/music film. I remember the log driver’s waltz!

I love that one I guess because it reminded me of my grandpa with the fiddling and the coat imagery. I always like that one. I guess because its my roots. I guess thats why I ended up a history major... As if you called “The Metis Coat” a stinker vignette!
