During the Civil War over 50,000 Canadians fought for the Union, and almost all of them became U.S. citizens and receiving land-grants in the Great Plains for their service.
Was there an Ozone Hole over Australia? That and drinking waaay too much tea and Foster's....and let's not get started on the sheep shagging!
