P.S. Yes. I am in Canada. Shaw is a communications conglomerate; satellite,
TV, phones, and etc.

Interesting however. My people are from what is now the USA. We, Prairie
Potowatomi, were once located in the area of now Indiana, Illinois, part of
Idaho and Missouri. During the land grab and gold rush of the Black Hills in
1800's, we were in the way of that progression so the US Army invited us to
relocate to Kansas and Oklahoma Territories. The group of people who are now
here, in Canada, refused to move from our homeland. The army simply
increased the pressure as they are still wont to do in other parts of the
world. We ran but could not hide. We divided and a some of our people, along
with some Kickapoo, went on down to Mexico where they still maintain their
togetherness. We are the people who came North into Canada. On days such as
this with the Winter temperature -18 C., I often think of those who chose
Mexico.

Anyhow, a brief historical synopsis of why I am in Canada.
