Bits of War
1. WARSHIPS--Five warships were on the Great Lakes last summer to commemorate the War of 1812. There were three Royal Canadian Navy ships and two U.S. Navy ships. They took a ten-week cruise.
2. AMERICAN GIRL-- introduced a new historical doll last summer. She was named Carolina and would represent a girl from Sackets Harbor, New York.
3. OLYMPICS-- There was some discussion about how much the Canadian government spent on Bicentennial ads this past summer. Some said the ads were contrary to the spirit of the Olympics which is supposed to bring countries together.
