| I'm interested in how "we're" so off when you've yet to explain their nation-state formation contributions. Just being here "first" doesn't mean squat or should England acknowledge the Beeker Hill people, or Italy the Etruscan or Germany the Jastorf culture or the Romans? Just b... |

| Actually, the first name of this country was "Kanata", which means home or village in the language of the First Nations people that Jacques Cartier first met when he sailed down the Saguenay if I'm not mistaken. Artic, you are right on the money, but hey, I was close.... BOTTOM LINE tho, ... |

| Good Grief, how could there even be a controversy over this??????!!!! First Nations people were here long before the French or English for that matter and should it not have been for the First Nations people, the French wouldn't have lived very long.... Even the old French History books recorded thi... |

| real question is: Why are we still buying from them? First time is a "mistake" Second time is on purpose. Third time, is well - game over. I haven't bought anything "made in china" for almost 2 yrs - one of the hardest things I ever had to do, everything, is made in China. By not... |

| Try WD's suggestion first, as long as it's Free it looks simple enough and does a great job. I think I'm even more confused than I was, sounds so simple when you explained it...
