 Welcome to Friday Night Bingo and we have the Canada Project here and Amy's back again with us and I appreciate you being here, Amy, because after exploring the Canada Project on WikiTrees pages, you guys have a fantastic project, it is awesome. We have a great bunch of project members, that's why. I am so impressed by your project leaders, by your members, by your profiles, it is amazing. And the thing that struck me with Canada, you also have a little bit of different needs because of different languages as well in territories and we did talk about earlier today, if you missed it, we talked about the first people, first nations, so you have a lot of different languages and different makeup of what makes your country so welcome. Thank you, thanks for having me. I'm really happy to see you guys here and how's everybody doing? Everybody doing great? I see a couple familiar faces, I see some new faces, so let's go ahead and get started. This is a jam packed hour. What we're going to do first is give you a little bit of information about Canada. Then we're going to give you a little bit of information about the Canada Project. In the meantime, while we're doing that, if you have not been here before, the drill is I'm going to drop the bingo card number one, we'll do two today. I'm going to drop that in the chat, bring that up on a separate tab, a separate screen, a separate component, whether you're watching on your computer or you're going to bring it up on your cell phone, however you choose to do it. And we're going to talk a little bit about Canada after the first bingo card, we're going to come back and show you some incredible and amazing, notable profiles from the Canada Project that I know you'll recognize. You'll be amazed, you'll be impressed, and we'll talk about them and see what everybody thinks. And I like this right off the bat. We got Canadians right off the bat. Okay, so let's talk a little bit then about Canada. We're not going to go in too deep because we want to dig into the WikiTree pages, but let's talk just a little bit about a couple of facts, a couple of fun facts about Canada that some hour was quite expressed at myself. So Canada's obviously in North America, it, I would say stunning is a perfect world, perfect world, excuse me, stunning and natural beauty because you guys have it in abundance and your flag is the iconic main belief. Everybody want to guess why, something to do with maple syrup, we'll see. But it's the world's second largest country by land. So that kind of surprised me as well. I was a little bit surprised. Only Russia is bigger land mass wise. That's interesting. So it's the longest coastline in the world, did not know that as well. And the shield, I did not realize how much covers half the country's land mass. This is just amazing. When you look at the United States and you look at Canada, I think some of us in the States can say, okay, so if we just flip it and we just like take the North America of Canada and United States, just fold it, it'd be about equal, but no, it definitely would not be. And then the Canada flag again has the maple leaf and it's a symbol not only of its resources, which includes the maple syrup, but it's natural beauty and I would have to agree with that. And I guess I need to ask everybody that's here in chat, if you've had, you know, maple syrup, I'm going to assume you have, but have you had protein? So that is a national culture, treasure cuisine of Canada. Can I get it anywhere in Canada? Pretty much. Okay. And it's funny that it's also known for hockey. Now we're going to talk about this a lot because number one, I'm a huge hockey fan. As you can see, I brought up my red jersey. My team is not red anymore, but I brought up my red jersey to celebrate Canada Day a little bit early, but there's some interesting facts that Amy educated me on about hockey that I am still sad about. So we're going to talk about that as well and have some fun tonight. Okay. Some famous Canadians. We're going to talk about this after the first bingo card. Well, you had to put the first one didn't you? I was waiting for you to say that. I was waiting for somebody to say, did we have to claim them? Do we have to claim them? So good old Justin Bieber and come on, now Ryan Reynolds, I know he stays. Oh, he stays. We can't have him. And Margaret Atwood. I, for some reason, I, you know, I've watched the Handmaid's Tale as well as read it. And I did not realize it. So that's pretty amazing. Yeah. Now I think we'll let you keep all three or we'll take the second one if we really need to. So again, Poutine Maple Serp, that's what we're talking about. But talk to me, Amy, about the cuisine. It has to vary from location to location to location. Certainly. Yeah, certainly it does. And we talked about the shoreline too. So of course you're probably going to get a lot of fresh seafood. Sorry, this coast is famous for its seafood. Then what do we get inland? So Quebec and, well, I haven't been all across Canada. I've been mostly East Coast and Ontario, Quebec. So French cuisine, definitely Quebec and even in New Brunswick. That makes sense. There's a large French community there. That makes sense. In Montreal. Ontario is a pretty standard, very, you know, burgers, fries. And so are you. But if you haven't had Poutine, explain to us what that is. Oh, Poutine. I know. French fries, smothered in gravy with cheese curd. It has to be cheese curd. Can't just be that cheese sauce. Can't just be cheese sprinkled on. No. Yeah. It's got to be cheese curd. Now, I've had a really good one the other day. We stopped at a little place nearby. It's just a chip truck. And they have, it's called Canadian Poutine. And it is your regular Poutine, but it also has onion bacon. Oh. Oh, it is so good. It's almost like our version of loaded potato fries, but like you said, if you don't have the cheese curds on it, it's not Poutine. It's not Poutine. No. It's just not. And this is where Amy broke my heart. Sorry. How many of you all knew Poggy was very popular, but it's not the national sport of Canada. It's our national pastime. I am shocked. It's the national sport. It's the corner from my computer monitor going. Why? He's like, what? I know. I'm shocked. It's a little cross. And if you were here in the earlier, when we were talking about First Peoples, Amy's actually played lacrosse. I did. I played in high school. It's a very rough sport. It is so fast. It is rough. I know that here in Atlanta, we have a lacrosse team. And we watch it and I'm like, that is just way too fast. And then I believe, I'm also from Maryland, so I want to say lacrosse is the national sport of Maryland as well. It could be. Somebody can fact check me. But that hockey, what happened? What happened there? I don't know. I don't know. So do you guys do quite well in tournaments, global tournaments? In lacrosse? Or hockey? In lacrosse. I don't actually follow lacrosse now as an adult. So I really, maybe somebody in the audience knows. Maybe Doug will let us know. Yeah, that kind of broke my heart. So that kind of brings us to the Canada Project on Wiki Tree. So for those of you that have not visited the Canada Project pages, we're going to give you a treat and we're going to show that too real quick. I just want to make a couple of notes here. So a lot of it goes, we are not a melting pot like the US. We are a salad bowl. Mixed together, but can remain part of our original culture. And I love that analogy. I love it. And did not know this. The cheese curds are made in Quebec and many other places. So that's pretty cool too. And welcome to the show. Steven, glad to have you here as well. And the cheese curd question was because Carol mentioned, do cheese curds come from Wisconsin? America's dairy. So actually where I live in Lanark County, there were well, even surrounding counties. In the 1800s, there were tons of dairy farms and cheese factories. So I don't know if anybody's ever heard of the mammoth cheese. Because actually one, the mammoth cheese contest, I mean, the largest cheese wheel, yeah. Now I'm going to have to look at it. Somebody look up mammoth cheese, and let's see if we can get educated on that too. But that and cheese curds can come. That's a good question. Cheese curds come from a particular type of cheese. No, I don't think so. I've had all kinds. Oh, there are. Early flavored curd is really good. What flavor? Garlic. Oh, yeah. I've actually had goat cheese curd too. Not as good, but still good. I got to agree with Kathy. If you know Canada, you know Tim Hortons. If you go into Canada and go, what's the Tim Hortons? You might get an exit plan. We'll escort you to the border. You might get what all I own back on the other side. So you never know. Okay, let's talk Canada. This is a fabulous project. These pages are beautiful. You guys have it set up, and you will also see why you have a lot of leadership, because you have geographical teams, and then you have other specific teams. You also have what we call a wiki trail as well, where people join the project and get educated along the way, kind of an education training trail along the way to learn how to create and how to source Canadian profiles. Yeah. And through the different time periods too, right? Because Canada wasn't always Canada. It had other names and other record keepers and... And would you also go through, if I went through the trail, would you also help us with the First Peoples? Yes. You can do a specialization. So your first level of the trail is an introductory, these are what we consider reliable sources. This is how to write a biography. We teach that kind of stuff. Level two, we focus more on the geography of Canada. So we try to get people to spread out. If they did Ontario in their first level, we might get them to do Alberta in the second level. And then level three, they get to pick a specialization if they choose. That's really interesting because a lot of times people will pick really kind of certain areas. And right now I'm thinking more of Germany in particular. They had so many different regions and potentates and everything else, little lords and few. So I can see where Canada, you would think that, oh, one stop shopping, go all the way around. But that's not the case. You have so many different geographical areas there. It's a very diverse country. And this is interesting. So the Catholic Church in Quebec kept mostly great records. And that's good to know as well. Because when you're researching, you want to find the records. Okay. Yep. And that's their project. Okay. Let's talk a little bit then. So on the teams, I've got the Atlantic Canadian team, the Ontario team, the Quebec team and the Western Canada team. So when I start, if I go through the trail, I will pick up a geographical first, did you say? Or just a general? No. It's just a general. Okay. And then I can pick the geographical from there. We try to encourage that, but I mean, it's still a pretty general. We try not to make it all one area. We try to spread them out. And I think it's interesting too, because even if you think you know an area, it's really great to go through the trail because you might learn something new. A lot of times as genealogists and as armchair genealogists, pro-genialists, does not matter. We get stuck in our sources. We get stuck and sometimes we don't realize what you're familiar with. And always indexing is going on all the time as well. Okay. It's the same. I always talk about this. It's the same as with any project. On the main project page, you will go to the box that's almost always kind of an upper third or upper half and go to GGG. And that's all you have to do is go to GGG and tell them you would like to join and take it from there. Again, the best thing to do once you join, even if you think you know Canada, even if you think you know the sources in your experience, it's really good to go through the trail because when you add your knowledge of Canada or if you're learning and wiki tree, it's a good way to learn little tips and tricks with wiki tree as well. And I just dropped the link for the Canada project. So if anybody is interested in that particular one, this kind of showed to me too that every region has part of a membership lead, I guess is I'm not sure do you call them PCs or do you call them team leaders? So our coordinators are considered PCs. Okay. A lot of them are team leaders for the for the specific provinces. So in Western Canada, you'll have a team for each province and we'll have team leaders for those. For those. If you have a question, let's say you do not want to join the Canada project because you don't have a lot going there and I'll give you my example. I actually had shockingly family in the late 1800s from West Virginia that picked up and moved to two brothers and two sisters of the family picked up and moved to the middle of Canada. That would not be something that I would probably join the Canada project for. But I know now if I have the location, I can probably go straight straight to the PC here for that particular region and ask them any question that I might have. My first was why, you know, why did they go from, you know, one one area down here that's to the middle of Canada and they had the same crops almost, you know, they were doing the same thing. They were still doing the same thing. Yeah. It's not like they went mining or something. So it was really, really interesting to learn. Now I want to scroll down a little bit more if again, the Canada project has resource pages for you. If you get stuck, if you need information, go here to the resource pages. If you still can't find what you're looking for, go back to these project coordinators and a lot of times they will go, Oh, I know exactly what you're looking for. Let me send you there. And if you really want to, you can do like I do and I will send Amy an email saying help. I need help and my co-leaders are fabulous too. And we have great for answering questions. Doug's here. Is Dave here? I'm not sure if Dave was able to make it or not. If you have any questions and we do not catch them on the live feed, Doug is actually in the chat and he can answer questions probably a lot quicker than we see them. So if you have any questions about Canada, this is your time. Capture Doug's attention and ask away. Okay. So we talked a little bit about the teams already, the regional teams and you have a couple of other teams you've got the managed team. Those are going to be your profiles that you have, Oh, we have all of Canada here. Oh, Canada. Are they? We have all of you. We're all here. Yay. This is great. And the trail team is what we were talking about for education and going through. And you have something that I don't see very often the categories team. So you don't always see that on every wiki tree project. And is it because you have such vast land and also different cultures and languages? Yes and no. So we have three time periods. We have British North America, we have upper and lower Canada, and then we have Canada. So well, it's more complicated than that, but the areas were not always called the same thing, but they're the same place. And so we have categories for the time periods. And in the nineties, our municipalities in Ontario specifically decided to do amalgamations and blend a whole bunch of townships and towns and cities together. So the categories got complicated. People were just creating categories for whatever. So we tried to put in a logical structure. And of course it's different for each province and territory. And I want to point out that I came across this when I was helping somebody with a Canadian one place study. And I came across this and it was like really kind of like crazy to me. I'm like, whoa, what is going on? What's going on? And then we ended up getting some education from the Canada project to where to put things. So the reason why I point that out is I actually came across it. It was very confusing to me about what the localities were doing. Not what Wickey Tree was doing, but really kind of what the localities were doing. So if you do come across this and you have a question, reach out to the Canada project because I know that I got instant answers. It was really, really easy. I had not only to get an answer of like instead of just, hey, just do this. I got an explanation. So I really love that. And I remember thinking at the time after reading the email, it really is true. The Canadians are just a happy, friendly bunch, aren't they? It's not just a stereotype. No, it's not. It's really not. OK, and then we have a couple of sub projects and I want to get into this. And this is really going to be an interesting thing to talk about as well. Amy is the leader of these sub projects. And the reason why I want to get into them is they're very specific. And I am roping Amy to come back later in the summer with the British home children sub projects. So keep that in mind as well. But we talked a little bit about the first People's Canada project earlier today, and it missed it. Definitely go back. It was very intriguing and interesting to learn and get educated about that as well as as we talk a little bit about in the States, the Native Americans, how this imaginary international border really doesn't exist for nations. It does for governments, but it doesn't. But the Empress of Ireland team. Now, I would have said, Amy, that goes in Ireland. The Empress of Ireland, actually, I'm not as familiar with as I should be. It was a ship that came from Europe. And if I remember correctly, it's sank or it was damaged in the St. Lawrence River and it said that is sometimes called Canada's Titanic. Exactly. It's interesting and timely since we're talking about Titanic. Well, that's a horrible situation that was. But I wanted to point out with this, we did do a bingo with the Titanic project with Donna Bauman. And it was fantastic. And what I learned from that is where I'm probably going to come here with the Empress of Ireland to find complete sources for every passenger in crew member can be challenging because we're talking about probably a global crew, the Titanic definitely was. Like, for example, there was a large group of Syrian workers on the Titanic. So for for this timeframe and for ships, it was pretty much a global environment for the workers there as it is now on cruise ships, if you think about it. And a lot of times we need to get these profiles in as well. So if this is something that you think that you are joy working on is creating the profiles for people who are probably unseen, in my mind, a lot of ways when they they went down with the ship. This would be a good project to jump on. But especially if you've been working on the Titanic projects, since there being no, this would be a good one to also to jump on. And keep in mind, we said that Canada. With large, I mean, very large to think about all the profiles that you probably still need to get into Wiki Creek. Oh, yeah, there's only a fraction of them on there. So keep that in mind as well. And then I'm not going to talk too much about the British home children in Canada, because Amy's going to come back later to talk about it. And we're going to try and talk about that in the Remember the Children Project on the same day to kind of bring those and link those together as we go through through it. OK, let's talk bingo. Who wants to do the first bingo card? Let me go ahead and get that set up again. If you have not got your bingo card, bring it up. And while you're bringing it up, I will also find it on my screen. There we go. OK. So here's the rules with bingo. If you have not played before, I'm going to call out the words. And if they are words I can't pronounce, Amy's going to call them out. I'll try. And also, Amy gets the task of explaining what the words are because Amy gave us the list. And I already know when she talks about lacrosse, she's going to break my heart again. You're never going to let me live that down. No, I'm not. To win it bingo, what you need to do is either complete a row horizontally, diagonally or vertically. There is a picture. Everybody should see a little clip art in the middle. And if you see that, go ahead and click that with your mouse now. And that'll show you how to do it. If you click it again, it'll remove. So if you accidentally click a spot, you didn't want to just click it again. But to mark your cards, all you got to do is click. The first person who shouts bingo in the chat is the person who wins bingo. So if many of you have the same bingo at the same time, whoever is the quickest will win bingo. If you have won within the past six months, you are not eligible to win until the six months from your last win date. If you have never won it bingo, then you are eligible to win as well. And a prize is up to $30. It's from the wiki tree branded store. Really awesome prizes. And I will show again for those that were not here. You guys are used to me showing my all black mug. I actually have the black and white mug. Some of you have the black and white and some of you have talked about the black and white mug. This is it. I like all black one. The all black one is awesome, but I like this one too. So that works it. We're going to go pretty quick. Let's go ahead and get started. Northwest Territories. And this is really just talking about a location. And this is a this is territory team where you have a PC. It's actually, I think it's included in the Western Canada. OK. And I also want to mention that do not close down your bingo card. You'll see people sometimes say bingo keep playing. That's because they have won in the last six months, but they're having fun and they're joining us with bingo. Here, right off the bat, right off the bat, we pull off the bandaid. There you go, work it off. So for those of you that weren't here at the beginning of the show, I just want to inform everybody that this is a sad day for Sandy. Hockey is not the national sport of Canada. La Crosse is amazing and British Columbia. So, yeah, BC, we call it BC. But that's the formal name is British Columbia. And I'm going to bring up a few of your comments, too, as you do it. This was really interesting, Susan. So one of my Gigi aunts married a German men in Ontario. And they ended up in a Mennonite community in Alberta. So there's a large community in both places, actually. Really interesting. OK, see, I tell you guys, I learn from from everybody all the time. French. So French, that can refer to the language. It also refers to one of the European nations that first. Brought government to North America, I guess. Red and white, of course. Red and black colors. Colors. And I got to say that during the Olympics, I especially noticed that during the winter Olympics, you know, the luge and things like that in the bobsleigh, your colors really are prominent and come across. You cannot miss a Canadian and Olympian. We're pretty proud of our colors. I have no idea. So none of it was originally part of the Northwest Territories. And in 1999, it was made a territory of its own. OK. So before 1999, I would not use that as a location. That's right, Able, Northwest Territories. And here's another good one. Did you know that the only province that is officially bilingual is not Quebec? That's right. Say, but I guess what it is. I do, but I'm not going to. Is it obvious? Is it the one I'm thinking that? So I don't know. It's not Ontario. OK, there we go. New one. I would have never guessed that. Yeah. OK. Oh, no. Oh, Saskatchewan. Yeah. Yeah. So let's see. We have Bigfoot. You have Vietti. Do you? Or is that Alaska? Bigfoot. You have Bigfoot, too? Yeah, we have Bigfoot. He's actually it's illegal to kill Bigfoot in Canada. That's good to know. It's good to know. I'll have to remember that when I'm hiking in the very, very remote area Northwest Canada and Maple Forest. And I'm going to tell you that my my mom spoiled us as a child. And I don't know where she got it because back in the day. And I'm not going to tell you how many years ago, but back in the day, finding Canadian maple syrup was really not an easy thing. They she actually was raised on a farm in the States. So they had maple syrup. But once she tried Canadian maple syrup, she's never gone back. And I've never known pancakes without it. The very first time that I had American pancakes with bottled syrup. Oh, I was. You asked for it. I've never ate it since. Yeah, that's not that's not one of the things we're proud of. And we talked about Ontario and we're going to do some more facts from from you guys and New Brunswick has large Acadian population, right? What's interesting about that is the Cadian projects coming to bingo in about a month and a half. Oh, very cool. Great day. Great. Yeah, great, Jay. Lots of people think our national bird is Canada goose. Yeah. It is not. It's the great day. Sorry, bird watchers. I feel for you, bird watchers, lacrosse hockey. I don't know if anybody else knows this, but I have a very strong dislike for Canadian geese. And we actually, my household refers to them as Cobra chickens. They're a vicious, vicious bird. This is funny, because you guys are having fun in chat. We're also reading your chat. So you guys are having fun English. So same thing. It's also it's a language, but it's also one of the European nations that helped create Canada as it is today. Would you say that most Canadians of speak English as dominant as the main language? Or yes, I believe so. They're the largest French speaking population is in Quebec, but there are pockets in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Alberta. It's it's pretty much everywhere. And then we also talk about earlier about how each nation had their own languages as well. So Newfoundland in Labrador, and we're not talking about dogs. No. No. One is an island and the other is kind of a portion of the mainland where Quebec is located. So if you look on the map, they're separate, but they're the same province. Now, if correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't it? A lot of people from the Titanic were buried in Newfoundland? I think those that died after they were rescued. Yes. Yeah. That's what that's what I thought. OK, and we have a bingo. I think Eric was the first one that said bingo. So congratulations, Eric. This is really cool. Let me tell you how to get your prize of. That's the most important thing right now. So to get your prize, you're going to email anyone and you're going to tell her that you won bingo from the Canada project and she will email you back a link for the store so you can take a look and see what there is. There is not just bingo branded things. There's a whole bunch of different types of wiki tree branded things. If you know already, because this is the most popular item in the store, if you know already, you went to bingo mug, I'll do like that. If you want to bingo mug and all black, if you know that already, then you can just tell her, please bingo mug, all black, black candle, black inside back everywhere around. You can tell her that she'll hook you up. Otherwise, if you want to take a look, take a look and she'll let you know and get back to you. And I think the bingo prizes are coming out pretty quick for a while. A couple of months ago, they were a little slow because of supply issues, but they're coming out pretty quick now. So congratulations. That's pretty awesome. Eric just joined my project, the Appalachia Project. So that's why I'm so happy because I was like trying to tell everybody, come on, the chances are good to win a prize. So Eric did not lie, did not lie. And while we wait for me to set up everything, let me give you the second bingo card. There are always two bingo cards within every bingo session. Let's look, take a look at some really amazing profiles that you guys have. And I was, I asked Amy, I said, could you just give me some? She goes, no, you choose because now I know why. There's so many. I mean, like the past four hours looking at which ones do I have to say no to because they were all really, really interesting. Our Notables team has just done a fabulous job. I'm thoroughly impressed. I am telling you, I am really, really impressed. Let me shorten this. Let's see if we can get it off. Nope, we got it all in. And I want to mention right off the bat, because we were talking about him. Russell Russell is our team leader. He has done an amazing, amazing job with us. Let me get set up and we're going to take you through a couple notable profiles. Some you might know, some you might not know. If we don't get ones that you think we should have got, drop them in chat so other people can take a look at them after the bingo as well. Try to pick a very interesting mix. And I found just some really amazing finds. So Edith Jesse Archibald is the first one that we're going to take a look at. I will drop the link also in chat if anybody wants to look at her after bingo. Feel free. And she's pretty interesting. And so she was dubbed the Lady of Grace. And in her spare time, she would, you know, go into saloons and have raids with the Temperance Union. So she was a Suffragette leader. She was very involved with the Temperance and she wrote poetry and all her two books. But I just loved it where she was Lady of Grace, but in her spare time, she raided saloons. So that was really amazing. And it's just a fabulous profile. You guys have done a really, really good job with that. We have some pretty interesting characters. I'm sure she was polite and friendly, though. She did as she went through. So that would be the first profile that we're going to talk about this. The next one that we are going to talk about, we bring this up, this gentleman. So this gentleman, Raymond, was a chemist. And the thing that was very interesting about him that struck me and I literally came across him at the last minute is that he was the first person to synthesize table sugar from scratch. That's kind of cool. OK, I get it. He's a chemist and he does that. But because he did that in related to recent events and I'm just not going to go into detail with the recent events, but we all, you know, stayed in our house for two years because of it. Some of the methods that he developed are currently used in the production of modern antibiotics that were used in the past several years. So that was interesting, too. And it also told me your Canadian noble scheme is really awesome because this is a modern event. And so they went back into the profile to update it to make sure that everybody knew that it related also to current and modern events. It is a great profile as well. I will drop the link there if you're if you're interested, excuse me. If you're interested in checking it out afterwards. And again, I believe this is another Russell. This is another Russell. Just a really good job. Really beautiful to be done, but also intriguing. So every one of these profiles, I sat in red. I know sometimes we go on the screen, we see little snippets, we see long paragraphs and we're like, I'll just skim it. But this I really sat down in red. It was very well written and for a scientist profile, it was written in a way I could understand it. I'm more artsy than scientists. So that's that's the thing. Sometimes they're so dry. They are. And I thought this was great. And so the other thing, he was appointed an officer of the Order of Canada, but also a companion of the Order of Canada. And we've been talking about how the British have been giving out awards and Canada has their own as well. OK, so moving on this one, I was going to ask everybody to name that tune or name that song. So this would be Anne Murray. I think she's pretty iconic. Yeah, she's just she's just a natural treasure. I mean, she's just amazing. Her voice is just so smooth. And she also personifies the Canadian happiness as well. I used to live in Nashville. And I can tell you that if you live in certain areas of Nashville, you always see stars out the bout lunch dinner, you know, shopping with that. And she would always give autographs. She didn't recognize she wasn't cranky. She she would just smile and go, absolutely or showering and give an autograph. But she's pretty iconic as well, because she, you know, we think of her in the states is country, but she's really the adult contemporary. She crossed over. Yeah, and actually, I believe, if I remember correctly, she started out as a children's singer. Yeah, because that was my first introduction to her. So that will date me for I know. And it's a funny thing. I try not to date myself. But when we're talking about Anne, she won four Grammy Awards, a record 24 awards, three American music awards, three country music Association Awards and three Canadian country music awards. She needs a whole separate house. She needs a completely separate house. So I thought that was pretty interesting as well. And sorry, my dog just let himself into the house. Mine usually lets himself out. And then we go running. If you want to take a look at her particular profile, this has some more details as well on her. And I think I have. Let me post this again just to make sure this is Anne Murray. Now, the next one I know everybody's going to know. And I do expect everybody to tell me their favorite movie. Mr. Candy. You can have a talk about Canada without Mr. Candy, John Candy. I love him. I probably get it wrong. Is it the 96 or I don't think it's 86. There's the 96 or that big steak that he had to eat. And he thought he ate it and he had all the bristling left that he had to eat. I love John Candy. I totally adored him. He was hilarious. He was funny as can be. And he was funny in a way that was safe for kids. Exactly. Exactly. My dad actually went to college with him. Oh, that's pretty cool. Was he funny? Did your dad remember me? Yeah, he was. I met him. I was like six. And the interesting thing too about him that I'll mention, we are not going to show the profile for him, but I will mention him, Ryan Reynolds. And as we talked about him earlier, yeah, this is Ryan Reynolds. I don't this is the person he looks up to as well. And a little bit of trivia about John. I was shocked, shocked, huge fan of the far side comic strip. That did not shock me. He was offered the role of Lewis Tolly in the Ghostbusters, but turned it down. I did not know that. I mean, I just like, yep, I can see him in Ghostbusters 100 percent. Absolutely. So and I can see that you guys are having fun too, naming some of the movies with him home alone, definitely. S.C.T.V. S.C.T.V. Oh, cool runnings. That's another good one as well. And Uncle Buck. That was one of my favorites. Here's a classic planes train and automobile. Yes, the great outdoors. Oh, that was a good one, too. That was really good. And again, I'm sitting here smiling. I've seen all these and they are something that you can show your kids. You can have family every night easily, easily have family. Yep, I do know that he did co-own the I want to say Toronto Argonauts football team was a Toronto. I know it was Argonauts with Wayne Gretzky, but Liza, I agree. You can't talk about Canada without talking about Wayne Gretzky as well. Oh, good game. Yep, that was good. So and here is Irish John bringing in Canadian Ryan Reynolds with a connection to West Room, which is Wales soccer team. And I say this a lot with Bingo. I just mentioned three nations. And this is what Wickey Tree is known for, collaboration. So they are projects work together. Oh, and he tried to buy the. He did try to buy the senators. Yes, hockey team. Interesting. We won't talk about how Liana lost who hockey teams to Canada. We won't talk about that right now. There's a link for John Candy. Definitely go look at it. It's a really well done profile. It just makes you smile. It's something that makes you happy as well. So definitely going to take a look. OK, so moving right along. I wanted to bring this next one up for everybody because we talked about the first peoples in one of the questions I gave Amy was a tough one to also answer. How do I do the name? And I'm going to show you. This is a fabulous profile. Time has been spent on these profiles, but this one, a lot of time has been spent in Russell. I applaud you for the work that you do on these profiles. So if you notice how he has the name, I want to bring this up. So if you work on any first peoples profiles and you're curious how the name should be, reach out to the Canada project. Don't guess. Don't don't don't try and, you know, get a headache or migraine trying to figure it out. Just reach out to him. We give ourselves a headache. This is a this is again, I wanted to bring this up because we talked about the first people. I love this and I also love the location. So it's not the name, but it's also the location. So you see that it was on a reserve, the Six Nations Reserve. And fabulous pictures. Look at the categories that Russell and Amy look at the categories that Russell put on here. He made sure to really put this as a complete wiki tree profile. Look at the stickers. It's just a beautiful. It's just an amazing, beautiful profile. And I gotta say that you're right. I was blown away by this one and I was thrilled to be able to show you guys this particular one because of first peoples. So let's talk a little bit of trivia about Tom. So Tom's first sport was lacrosse. He became a runner. He was a leader in establishing the marathon running as an international sport. And I was reading his profile. I'm not gonna give it away because I want you guys to go and read it as well because it's one of the best profiles I have ever seen on wiki tree. That's how much I'm in love with this one. Interesting fact. I'm just gonna go, I went back through the changes on this to see who all has worked on this profile because it is really well done. It was actually created by Eoin. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, in 2014. Let's look at this. Lori Brothers did a lot of work on it. I'm gonna give you all some, look how much work she did. She created it and did a tremendous amount of work. In 2014, yeah. How many of you were on wiki tree? Two thousand and twenty. Not me. And in Lori added a lot of information. We've got some other Canada project members as well. So this is just, again, this is one of those things where we talk about collaboration. And I like to talk about collaboration amongst the projects. And that's really what our bingo is focused on where we bring you guys a project each bingo to kind of showcase it, answer any questions that you might have in case you don't want to become a full-fledged member which you still have questions and ask the leaders that are here. But it's also collaboration just wiki trees. Yep. So we have many that have worked on that. Now I'm so glad you looked at the changes because this brings in, you know, the poor stuff. It brings in it. Exactly. And I will also say what Dave agreed totally about Russell. His works with notable people. He is fabulous. And I'm gonna assume that Russell's probably like all of us that work on Notables. These are not things you're gonna get done in an hour or so. These are gonna take a little bit of time and you're gonna go back to it several times as well as you go through. Okay. I've got one more to show before the next bingo. I'm gonna put the bingo card up one more time. We'll do the last bingo card right after I show this next profile. I'll give everybody just a hot second to go ahead and pull up the bingo card. But if anybody is curious or wants to guess what would Sandy pick as the last profile of the Canada project to show? There's a little bit of a delay by the time I ask to the showing of tech. So we'll see if anybody guesses it real quick. And Amy, what is the weather up there? Right now it's smoky. Smoky, so you still got the fires. Yeah, the fires are still in Quebec. And unfortunately, last week it was beautiful here. The wind had shifted and it was blowing north. So we weren't getting our air quality improved immensely. And then unfortunately it has shifted in the last couple of days and it's starting again. Are they making headway on eradicating the fires? They are. I believe the ones in Quebec, one is being considered as held, which just means it's not getting bigger. It's still burning, but it's not getting bigger. So that's good. That is good. Okay, and go back to the second profile that was never. I've posted it two or three times, Stephen, but don't leave. I will make sure that you get it as well again. Okay, good guesses guys, good guesses. But I will say that, let me, before I move on, the whole team does a great job on these profiles. And this is coming from one of your Canadian project leaders. And I just really want to say to you guys, you've done a fantastic job. I'm totally blown away. I'm a little jealous as well. Not Neil, but Azure has featured Neil in a wiki tree YouTube short. It's the wrong link each time. I'll get it for you, don't worry. Okay, the last one, the Layton, the very great, the great, the daughter, Bobby Orr. So, that's the last one that I was gonna point out. This is a living notable. And I tried to show living notables with each project as well. So you can see that you can still have a very detailed project documented with a living notable. You just need to work with the project that the profile belongs to and the notables. And the WikiTree, the Notables Project is a PM, a profile manager of every living notable. It just helps us work with the rules that we have across the world and globally. So, oh, Ray Limo. Okay, I will post it, I will get it out guys. And the reason why, you know, I brought a Bobby Warren, I'm wearing my hockey jersey, he's just really, really great guy, hockey, but also he's humanitarian. He's known for his hockey, but a lot of people do not probably think of him as a humanitarian. I just want to point out too, that his famous goal, for those of your hockey fans, if you're not hockey fans, go Google the search after bingo. His famous goal in the overtime of game four for the 1970 Stanley Cups. And I mean, 29 years without a championship is a long time to go for Boston burns. It's considered one of the most iconic moments in NHL history. And the reason being is because the pitcher appears that he's flying in the air as he's making the goal. And if you know hockey or watch hockey, what really happened is he was about ready to get tripped. And so he kind of leaped up in the air as he's hitting the puck. He looks, sees the puck's going into the goal and he was so excited. He went like this, so it looks like he's flying in the air. So go and look at the pitcher. It's one of the most iconic moments of pitchers in NHL history and it has really nothing to do with why it's iconic. You're getting back at me for the not hockey. Yeah, that's true. Okay, so who is ready to play bingo? Let me bring up the next bingo game. But before I do that, let me bring up this link one more time. Okay, I'm going to post it. You guys are going to let me know. It keeps saying Archibald is the link, but it's bringing it up under Raymond. I have no idea why it's going up. That's kind of weird. Okay, so when you guys click on the link, it brings up Archibald. Ah, let's see. Hold on. There we go. I know what it is. I know it is. There you go. Try that one. That's it. We got it, Steven. Okay, bingo. Let's go ahead and take bingo. Everybody has their cards. I'm going to remind you again, if you won in the last six months, you are not eligible to win. Steven T, you are eligible to win. You are eligible to win the last time. If you get a bingo diagonally, horizontally or vertically, then you have got bingo, but you need to shout it in the chat so we can see it. If more than one person has won bingo, the first person who announces it in chat is the winner. Do not close down your bingo cards. We make sure that the person does have bingo because a lot of times people that have won want to play along and have fun and they'll say bingo, but keep playing. That means they won a bingo prize in the last six months. There's a little cartoon character of a moose in a flag, Canadian flag, go ahead and click on it now and we'll get started. So we're going to go very, very funny. And it will be, I'm going to hear this from Steven all the time. So now I got to make up a Star Wars joke. So we're going to say Archibald. Archibald, Archibald. Every time we see Steven, he's going to say that to me. Okay, two, four, 24 beer. We're starting Friday night off. What does this mean? That's what we call a case of beers, a two, four. A two, four. We also refer to the May long weekend as May two, four. Toonie, right? That's our two dollar currency. Canada East, one of your territories? So that was a historic, that was Quebec historically. So Canada East would have been 1841. Toboggan. This has kind of been interesting in order to me because this is going to be that wooden sled and it kind of curls up. Yeah, at the front. Yeah, at the front. But what's interesting and I do not know the spelling, but as a child, we had toboggins that were the sled that we just mentioned, but we had toboggins or the knit hats. I don't know if it's spelled different. I never really checked on it, but I just, yeah. So my mom would always go, go get your toboggins and you can go out and play in the snow. So we get both. Which one am I supposed to get? Lower Canada. So also Quebec, lower Canada would have been pre 1841. So 1791 or 1796, somewhere there? The beaver. The beaver. That is our national animal. It is. It is. It is, okay. Again, not the moose. No, not the moose. The loony, that is our $1 currency. So we've got the loony, the tuning. Yep. And they're $1 and $2 coins. And I'm still not used to having coins. I just throw them in a jar and the next thing I know, I'm sorry to go to the bank. Okay, I'm going to guess that double double is not double double trouble, but it has something to do with two four. No, it's not more than coffee. Oh wow, double double. So what's a double double? Two cream, two sugar. Two cream, two sugar. Okay. Oh, Liza. I'm not sure. Beaver tails are very yummy. Yes, they are. I'm not sure. And in France, we call children's slides toboggan. Since the French came over to Canada, that's where the word probably came from. Very good. That's pretty cool. And we have loony because it has a loon on it. Okay, what does tuning have? Now you guys got me curious. It's got a polar bear on it, but it's called a tuning because their rhymes was loony. Freesies. Freesies, yeah. My American cousins had no clue what Freesies were. And their flavored ice in a sleeve. Are those ice pops? Yeah, ice pops. For the wall? Yep. Different colors, different flavors. Different flavors, yep. Oh, this is classic. That's classic. That was classic. I had a, we call him a brother from another mother that was German. And before he could come and get citizenship in the United States, this is about 30, 40 years ago, I guess. They recommend, the US government recommend you go to Canada. So he went to Toronto because of his skills. He had specialized skills with microscopes or something like that. So he went to Canada and lived there for a while. And it was so funny because we, he'd come to visit and we were like, that's Canadian, that's not German. When you go eh, eh. Okay, Liza, congratulations on the bingo. That's awesome. We didn't get very far on the bingo words this time, did we? We didn't. That's pretty cool. Congratulations Liza. So what you want to do is you're going to email. Let me bring it on up right there for you. Oh, there we go. Anyway, and you're going to tell her that you won bingo with the Canada project. Which seems kind of perfect, doesn't it? And let me write your leaders are actually Canada project members. I know, that's pretty cool. So congratulations to both of you for winning on the mug, I assume. I assume, maybe, maybe the mug. And anybody have any questions for Amy or we've got project leaders? We've got a lot of questions there. So if you have any questions, now's the time. I know that I like to ask you guys questions. If I know that I don't have a lot of ancestors from a particular location, but I'm curious about the location or where to search. And we didn't really talk a lot about where to research because it's on the Canada projects main page. There's space pages dedicated to this. And the reason why I didn't talk too much about it as well is because of all the territories. And that changes. And after learning about the first people today, it was fascinating to learn that they are included in a lot of the general sources as well. So that's pretty good. So I have Howie's Gadbees Cues from Canada in his tree, the Gadsbees, that sounds interesting. Those kind of come across as Barry British, maybe. And Howie's. And Liza's in the capital. If you do not live in Canada, does anybody want to tell us the capital? I think we talked about it once already. Let's see if everybody was paying attention. And then Amy, are there any well done profiles of any of the King's daughters who came over to Mary? That's a great question. Yeah, I would actually really like to get Danielle to help me and maybe we could do another bingo on our. That would be fabulous. I forgot all about that. That would be great. Thanks for mentioning that, Carol. And there are a lot of the profiles are really well done. And so we'll definitely, do you still have a need to build them out or pretty much? Some of them. I'd have to check with Danielle and see how well, how many she has done, but her projects are really, they've worked really hard on them. I always like to ask the projects. Well, let me do one more here as well. Only connection to Canada I have is a third cousin who was a Canadian war bride. She comes up a lot in the connection finder. That's kind of amazing, Joku. So was that popular as well? Like from War War II, I think, maybe, I'm gonna guess comes up. And Amy are freezes like popsicles that you would eat as kids in Wisconsin. I think they're the ones that are real skinny in that plastic, right? They're in a long plastic sleeve. And they're the ones that your mother never lets you have if you're wearing good clothes. Exactly, they're chocolate sugar. And here's another, learn the wife of my first cousin, three times removed is 97, and I just want to also point out, Steven, thank you for all the work you do with the food banks as well. Cool Pops, so this is interesting how everybody has different names for them. We call them, Steven has cool pops. I know, Steven, you're kind of around New Jersey area, too. I think when you're growing up, and I was West Virginia and Maryland, we call them cool pops as well. Popsicles to us were fancy. They had sticks. Yeah, they had sticks. Yeah, so they were kind of fancy. And Joe Cook says, yes, World War II, the Canadian army liberated another ones. And that would be interesting, too, to see how many of the war brides came over. There is a movie, I want to say, on Amazon that mentions that, and it was quite a leap for the British woman to come over to Canada and kind of on the edge of the frontier. And from London, I should say. So that was kind of a leap as well. And lots from both wars, thanks Dave, lots of English war brides in both wars. So I'm gonna ask Doug and Dave and Amy, I like to do this with every project that is large location-wise. What do we get wrong about Canada? Not just, it's not saying the state, so just what do people seem to get wrong about Canada? And Doug and Dave, feel free to let us know your opinion, too. I don't even know how to answer that. I thought you would say, and I wasn't sure, I thought you would say that it would be that every Canadian is happy 100% of the time and everything, because we do say this, and I think that this is interesting that you and Doug say the same thing, and I bet you Dave's gonna say the same thing, because you're gonna prove my theory wrong. Wrong that you- We don't wanna say anything bad. No, I know. So that's what's funny about it. I love that. As Doug says, a lot of Americans think that it's a lot like the USA than it actually is. That's a really good answer. Yeah. We do share a border and we do have a lot of similarities and we talked about the first peoples have a nation that crosses the borders, things like that, but they are two distinct countries. They might, what's so old saying, same language shared, language by a different accent and separated by a common language. So that might be it. And I like it where you say that Doug is correct. So you guys, you three are really awesome. I wanna applaud you guys for as well, the leadership that you're doing on Canada project because it shows your pages shine. I'm blown away by them and I love them. And we're going to have Amy come back again with the British home childrens. Can you tell us just a sentence or two what that is? So basically it was immigration societies specifically geared to children. Some were orphans, some were not, some were sent as work laborers, as young children to farms in Canada and Australia and various places all over the world. And that's a sub-project, this part of the Canada project. So we'll, for that this summer, we're gonna contact Amy again and have her come back. And I just wanna drop real quick that if you guys, if this is your first time on Bingo, please come back. We are booked all the way through until September, the end of August, September. And we have a lot of really, really cool Bingo's coming up. We have the Thai Cop Museum. It's gonna be here. So we can start introducing baseball profiles on week three. If anybody has ever used or curious about the wiki tree browser accessibility options, we're gonna have John within one of the programmers that's gonna be here to talk about it. I am so excited as well. We have the Poland project, which is just now coming back up into full action as well as you've seen Jamie around G2G and wiki tree. She's gonna tell us exactly what that wiki tree apps project is. And that's always curious because you think that it's just about WBE or maybe ENZB or something like that. But the wiki tree apps is a fascinating project. And if you like to dabble in programming, you definitely want to be here for that. And just to drop some more in August, we're going to have Greg, if you watch the Saturday roundup, if you don't make sure you do, Greg is on the Saturday roundup every Saturday. He's coming back with his ex-friend. So he kind of talks about those tricky family situations when families marry into families, marry into families. And I know somebody mentioned the Cadians in Canada and they're gonna be here as well. And they're gonna talk about the Cadians all over. The 15 Nations Tour will be here, though David Randall with a big announcement from wiki tree, but on the same day as the 15 Nations Tour, definitely come back for bingo. It's gonna be at the end of August. A huge, very large wiki tree surprise announcement and bingo gets to do it. So, nice. Again, thank you, Dave, Doug and Amy. I so appreciate you guys being here. If you guys have any questions about Canada, you know who to ask. We have them all here today. Everybody have a great weekend. If you're watching after the fact, thanks for being here. Me and Amy enjoyed it. Did.
