Montreal, high-tech City. As usual, we are way ahead !
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, Toronto scientists found traces of
copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors
already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the Ontarian’s, in the weeks that followed, a Vancouver
archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly thereafter, a story was published
in the Vancouver Province: “BC archaeologists, finding traces of 130-year-old copper wire,
have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications
network 30 years earlier than the Ontario claim.”
One week later, La Presse, reported the following: “After digging as deep as 30 feet
in his backyard Joe Cyr, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely fuck all.
Joe has therefore concluded that 150 years ago, Montreal had already gone “wireless.”
Just makes you bloody proud to be a Québécois.
