The closest thing was "British subject resident in Canada," which Bell certainly was for much of his life. There was nothing he could have done to make himself "more Canadian." Samuel Cunard was born in Halifax. I don't know why the OP considers him not Canadian. Maybe because Halifax became part of Canada two years after Cunard's death. -- Dean Tiegs, NE¼-20-52-25-W4 “Confortare et esto robustus” http://telusplanet.net/public/dctiegs/
