Hmmm, that's interesting. I imagine that the word "porter" comes from "to carry".
In Uni the term for the people who asked for one's ID to enter college buildings etc. was "a porter". Is this the same meaning that it has in Canadian-English?
To me "a quartermaster" is quite a different thing, but I've never heard "a porter" to mean a member of the proletariat.
