Being a wireless guy for the Manitoba telco, I have to share this!
After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Ontario 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 workers, in the weeks that followed, Alberta scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the Calgary Post newspaper read: "Albertan archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Ontarians."
One week later, the "The Russell Banner" a local newspaper in Manitoba reported the following:
After digging as deep as 30 meters in canola fields near Russell, MB., a self-taught archaeologist reported that he found absolutely nothing. He has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Manitoba had already gone wireless."
