Scotty CTA Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 The Yanks aren't shy about blowing their own horn. (No need to taint the thread.) Trivia... The first 24 years of Canada's existence (6 four year terms) had a sitting Prime Minister that was born in Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty CTA Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Trivia... Record sniper kill just 3 days ago... "Last week, the defence department confirmed reports that a Canadian sniper had shot an Isis militant from 3,540 metres (2 miles) away. The shot surpassed the previous world military record for the longest confirmed kill – held by a British sniper who took aim at a Taliban fighter in 2009 – by more than a kilometre." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/28/canadian-sniper-kill-shot-record-iraq-justin-trudeau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty CTA Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 British North America (Canada) fought the War of 1812 against the States. The 'British' burned the President's residence and the repairs included painting it white. From then on it has been referred to as 'The White House'. The Glasgow-born PM united the country with a national railroad (to act as a deterrent to attack from America) and Confederation soon followed.
