      Do they still have prospectors killing each other over gold finds or something?

        No, but the territories are still sort of out there. Inuits and mountain men. Not quite civilised, either group...

                        Yes. I'm Canadian. I was born in Montreal. I grew up in Montreal. I lived in Montreal virtually my whole life. Now I live in Baltimore, MD as a doctoral candidate in physics at Johns Hopkins.

                          The fact that I have the name of a town in Quebec as my location, a picture of the former Prime Minister of Canada choking a protester as my avatar, that I participate in every CanPol and hockey discussion on this forum didn't tip you off to the fact that I might be canadian?

                              Maybe I was reading too much

                              I thought the "our' was Freudian slip that showed you had been living in the US too long.
