Well Bluenose ...
If you follow the latest line of thinking it would appear that the first visitor to Canada and the USA Etc. occurred via boat travel rather than land bridge.
Hence the move in archeological thinking from Clovis people to Kennewick man.
The thinking is that they have moved continental American occupancy has been pushed back to around 40,000 years rather than to the end of the last ice age a round 10,000 years ago.
I hope that helps.

Trying to take credit for something you didn't do, pp darlin?
Colonial slavery is a nasty habit you really oughtn't encourage. Canada gets along just fine without Her Majesty's interference.
Next time you get the God Save the Queen, all hail British wonder, just imagine Margaret Thatcher in a leather bustier and Ronald Reagan cuffed to her bed. Save us from your innuendo.

Actually, the British royalty didn't show up until the Battle of Hastings. 1044 isn't it? That Bastard, William, Duke of Normandy, squashed the non-native populace and stuck his own people in there.
Anglo-Saxons weren't around before then me darlins. Though there is a school of thought that puts the Picts and Scots, not one in the same, on the island before the Celts, Saxons, and Other arrived.

Re: they think...
Actually, interestingly, Canada is home to some of the most ancient rock found at the surface anywhere on Earth. It's found in a huge horseshoe area that covers much of eastern and central Canada and part of the very northern US. Called the Canadian Shield, it's composed of metamorphic rocks, mostly granite and gneiss (pronounced "nice").
The Canadian Shield is the remains of ancient mountain ranges, once as imposing and grand as the Rockies. These mountains were formed over 2.5 billion years ago, when the peaks thrust into the air and then fell to the slow, persistent forces of wind and water. Their demise was hurried by earthquakes, volcanoes, and glaciers.
The Shield occupies about one-half of Canada's total area. That makes it the largest PreCambrian shield in the world.

Actually the oldest rock on earth is found between our Prime Minister's ears!
Granite, gneiss? We thought it was just a big heap of schist!

Before the Indians
and the land bridge, was the aboriginal peoples who probably arrived by boat (as pointed out above) the last of who died in 1913 on Teere Del Fuego if my memory serves me correctly. That last statement is in serious doubt. The rest is as seen on TV, so it must be true. Right? Correct? I mean, the TV wouldn't lie to me would it? Or would it? M**T may be watching too much and is at home hiding in terror...

On Sunday, i'm beginning a two-week driving trip up into Canada. The almost 13 year old girl got a vote as to destination, so we're going to be spending a few days in the Edmonton Mall, The Largest Mall In The World. After that, we'll go west into the Rockies and center ourselves around Lake Louise for a week of day trips into the incomparable beauty (so i hear) of that area. After a last couple of days at a place called the Fairmont Hot Spings, we'll drive home.
I'm looking forward to this trip. I've only been in Canada once, just for a long weekend, but found it beautiful and full of exceedingly nice people.

Possibly, although i don't really know at all.
However, this is a family trip - you know, with my kids? I'm certainly not going to be taking off on any little Lit people-to-meet adventure with my kids there, nor will i leave them behind in some hotel room to wait while i go meet Todd and have coffee or something, you know?
