I grew up hunting and fishing in Canada.My in-laws owned over 1000 acres where their ancesters had settled.My wifes uncle who was 85 years old had never left the farm.He had never seen tv (1971)nor did he have running water or electricity.His name was Norm.Norm never had a job and lived off the land.We would of course bring him the essentials he needed,but other than that old Norm had never been anywhere except to town functions.Norm had no neighbors and in the winter time was snowed in.We'd go in for hunting season and make sure he was ok.In 1975 my brothers in law and myself had hydro put to the house.And yes we bought him a tv.Norm never had a hunting license,but he taught me how to hunt and enjoy nature.I was with Norm before he died back in 1979 .He was reading the newspaper and got all upset.I ask him what was wrong.He replied "Damn Americans are taking are water".I took the newspaper from him and it was an advertisement for Canada Dry Gingerale..it read"THE U.S is drinking Canada Dry"
