By the new law enacted in April 2009, I am also a Canadian citizen even though I didn't know it 'til after the fact.

I am really interested in Eastern Canada but have never been there. Ontario seems to be the center of my father's family since the 1700s. They were loyalists in the American Revolution. It's a very colorful story how they escaped to Canada, leaving fortunes in land and property behind.

Sorry, applegrove, for running away with your thread.
