>I found your coverage of day one overly provincial <s> ... at least regarding Canadian attendees. ( man, they don't even teach you about Canada in Candian schools.

Funny you should say that. Marshal and I spent the better part of a week in Vancouver earlier this month (as part of the long, long trip that culminated with SWFox). We thought it was a beautiful city, but were fascinated by how little attention was paid to history. Later in the trip, I was chatting with Torontonian (sp?) at the Grand Canyon and mentioned this, and he commented that Canadians in general aren't all that interested in Canadian history. Really an interesting contrast with the US.
