Just an old man with lots to declare. I had to research my Residential School experience to bury the hurt at Fort Marion, St. Augustine, Florida. Next I had to research my family history which was hidden from me. My ancestor had 84 forts throughout Canada & helped build Canada with the Northwest Company & amalgamated with the Hudson Bay Company in 1821 becoming a shareholder.

Asking for Canadians NOT to buy the War of 1812 Canadian Mint.
I am asking Canadians to Boycott the purchase the these Commerative Canadian Mint productions which is not exactly shown on my picture; cause, this picture would have been more appropriate & respectful towards the NorthWest Company which helped Canada retain its present day borders. We lost NWCo trade routes which would have been Canadian property through the Treaty of Ghent in 1814. These States would have been part of Canada: Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota & North Michigan because NWCo had trading posts right to the mouth of the Columbia (which was named McGillivray River - by Simon Fraser & David Thompson) & the original map hangs in Toronto, which rightfully belongs to this family & not the University.

I'm reading "Empire of the Bay" by Peter C. Newman.
The book is not my favorite because of the HBC biased information, much of what he wrote was unsubstantiated historical ramblings, as if there would be no one to come around in history to speak for themselves, which thankfully, this descendant has emerged to set the records straight, because "the lords of the lakes & the forests are [NOT -sic] all passed away" p.138. The business documents of the amalgamation of 1821 are still Legal & Binding, much of the NWCo property was not given fair market value to this date. The Forts still earn tourist income.
