It appears there were not only "American sympathizers", but future Americans. <g> November 6 * The loyalists ransack the workshops of the English-language patriote newspaper, The Vindicator, and the house of André Ouimet, president of the Fils de la Liberté.** Little did old Andre know that his grand-son or grand-nephew would one day enter the first US Open and whoop the tar out of the very best "hackers" Britain had to offer. <vbg> I guess timing is everything. The republican bug didn't bite our Canadian neighbors until well after Napoleon's threat had been removed from the scene, although I suppose this might have been compounded by minimal trade between the American colonies and those in Canada in the 1700's. Thanks a bunch Snowshoe. History, Anthropology and Archeology always leave me smiling. I have some Detroit/Toronto roots somewhere, but the connection was lost long before I arrived. 0\|0
