Geez Giok, at least half of us Canucks areScots (by heritage, as well as Scotch by absorption). And if you haven't already read it, which I doubt, I refer you to Alistair MacLeod's novel "No Great Mischief". As for land claims, check with the First Nations before you hire a surveyor, they've gotten pretty well organized...

So far my Canada Day has been getting up early, doing a bit of work on the new little car we are adopting, then my wife went off to work (this is of course shameful behaviour unless you are a street vendor, but she is still American despite my best efforts). I rotated all the tires on her car then finally cracked open my first Creemore at 9:30.

This evening we're playing at the festivities in Perth. I'm secretly excited about this. Conlon Farm ain't Parliament Hill, but we're opening for Sue Foley's kid brother's band, then there's fireworks. It will be cool!

SO, Gnu, where's your camp? I'm hopin to visit you sometime when I get up to see the rels around Saint John.
