Don't assume that American Mudcatters are not interested just through lack of posting, please. I find this very interesting.

I had ancestors who went to Nova Scotia to remain loyal to the crown; I married into a first generation French-Canadian-American family, which still has lots of family living in Quebec, including in the Gaspe Bay area and on Isle Verte in the St. Laurent River; and, I remember being inordinately proud of the fact that I was born just 60 miles from the Candian border; I made my dad promise to move to Canada if Nixon got elected; I grew up with my brother, "the Anglophile", telling me about listening to CBC's live broadcast of Queen Elizabeth's coronation, when we lived across the border in North Dakota, the year I was born, 1953.

There's more of what I have learned and love about my friends and family who are Canadian, but I'll have to psot it later. Maybe Midchuck is right....as a liberal, maybe I should go back to some of my family roots, eh?
