Not a very convincing article, especially after stating: Over the last century or so, the focus has been on telecommunications, from the laying of the world's first transatlantic cable to being the site of the first intercontinental wireless transmission, to developing that little innovation by the Canadian inventor, Alexander Graham Bell. Bell was born in Scotland and his family immigrated to Canada where endured a few years before moving to Boston to pursue his work. Bell's "little invention" was invented in the US and the patent was registered to UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE. -------------- ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL, OF SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS. -------------- IMPROVEMENT IN TELEGRAPHY. jefferson.village.virginia.edu Bell also became a US citizen. To call Bell "the Canadian inventor" of the telephone is a huge stretch. A far more accurate description of Bell would be the "Scotsman who became the American inventor of the telephone after a brief residence in Canada". All in all, the connection of Bell and the invention of the telephone to Canada are very tenuous. As is the reasoning in the rest of the article.
