328 Feet above Canadian Soil. Bridges in the Sky.        Canadians and the soil they live on have always had a rocky history. That was the first things I learned when I decided to go to Canada for the first time. The land can be harsh and barren and in most places, it is impossible to grow anything that can be eaten by people. This may be one of the reasons there aren’t a lot of people in Canada, but where there are people there are a lot of them.

Which wasn't cheap, back in the 1800s 20,000 dollars would equal 800 million dollars today (that looks like this 800,000,000). If the church raised that much money ...
