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.

It has been a terrible month, my son Caleb aka Kai the Hitchhiker had his month in court with dismal outcome.
As his father I want to thank all his supporters that have been on this roller coaster ride of emotions. It certainly has not been the outcome we anticipated but I encourage everyone to hang on cause this surfer's ride is not over as we try to round up someone who has the knowledge to file Kai's Appeal and hopefully within the time frame allotted.
I promise you I will do my utmost to raise support from politicians, lawyer's and the public on the Canadian side of this fiasco. I have encouraged our politicians to make an application to Extradite Caleb Lawrence McGillivary upon or after his Conviction or Sentencing to relieve the United States taxpayer of the cost of housing my son in a United States penal system. But this would be an admission of guilt. I have not heard any submission of any sort from Kai. I was not in the courtroom to hear the charges. I understand there is a Plea deal that goes on between the Defense Atrorney and the Prosecution's office withe the final outcome decided by the Judge upon Sentencing similar to what our Canadian system of decision would be like under the Criminal Code of Canada. Appeals in Canada are just as lengthy and time consuming. This is a short summary of what I understand. Caleb definitely needs a professional expert to handle this difficult proceeding. I encourage his supporters to send good vibrations along with good prayers for what may be a lengthy procedure.
