[Grey Fox]

I see.

Wenzhou's defence that her alleged fraud would not be a crime in Canada was rejected by the court.  Fraud is fraud no matter the subject matter.

[Valmy]

The one that wanted to turn Quebec into a slave holding state? I presume anyway given it is the same as the Confederate Flag.

[Oexmelin]

What is that flag?

1837 Rebellions.
