Free in Canada??? Nope, it's over for us.
Canada has already auger'ed in, we are cooked. I hope I am wrong, but I doubt it.
I just hope the USA pulls out of their tailspin; they are on the brink, we will see in 2024.
God Bless the USA and Canada.

Columbus was the first government sponsored voyage—the Portuguese where fishing Cod off the Grand Banks within site of Newfoundland in the 1450’s.
Champlain was the first French settler 15 years before the Mayflower but 40 years after the Spanish at St Augustine in Florida

Lots of Viking artifacts have been found in the Arctic, and there's still some red-headed Innuit descendants.
Columbus discovered "the new world" due to learning that the Basques had been fishing here for years, and he approached the Queen for funding since a "discovery" was certain, ..... making his rewards certain!
Reader's Digest had a documented story way back, about the Eskimo that arrived on Irish shores in a Kayak, and more stories have since been discovered.
Spend enough time on the ground and you'll discover lots that the pros don't know about!

Was “2 against the North written by Murray (Margaret or Adolf ?). I read Margaret Murray’s book “Two in the Far North” about her time spent with her naturalist husband in the arctic? If I recall correctly Frank Glaser did some work with the Murray brothers helping them with their caribou/reindeer studies back in the 1920’s or 30’s.
Margaret became (iirc) a founding member of the Sierra club but I don’t hold that against her.

Hi AcesNeights, I hope your day is going great, I am just getting ready to watch the Tampa vs. Cleveland game :o)
"Two Against the North" was written by Farley Mowat. Book Overview:
Awasin and Jamie, brothers in courage, meet a challenge many mountain men could not endure. When their canoe is destroyed by the fury of the rapids, they must face the wilderness with no food and no hope of rescue. To survive, they build an igloo, battle a towering grizzly bear, track several wolves, slaughter caribou for food and clothing. Two lost huskies they tame bring companionship--and maybe a way home from their dangerous adventure.
Cheers ~ KB
