At least something like 90% of Americans know that Geo. Washington was the
first President....46% of Canadians don't know that John A. MacDonald was
our first Prime Minister. On a positive note, most Canadians I've met know
about the Avro Arrow (prototype for an ultra-advanced jet fighter,
designed in 1953 with 1975 technology), and that had that 'plane been put
into production, Canada would be by far the world leader in aerospace
technology. It was cancelled and all (save one, according to some
sources) the 6 built were scrapped. The cancellation happened because a,
change of government, and the Tories had to can it because it was a
Liberal project, and because of pressure from the USA, which came about
because the US Air Force desperately wanted this plane.
