Edited on Wed Apr-07-04 04:28 PM by Iceburg

- between 1775-1783, an estimated 50,000 Loyalists fled to Canada

- between 1840 and 1860 more than 30,000 American slaves
came secretly to Canada and to Freedom.

- during the Vietnam war, an estimated 30,000 draft dodgers
took up residence in Canada

Our teepee is very large.
