But he did his work for Canada's McGill University and fired his
cannons in Quebec and the Barbados. Bull was a little more than just
an American.

Re: War without France
Its going to be WAR without France one way or another. France never does its
share of the fighting even if they are being invaded. Why start something new
now

I believe he was Canadian.
Still the best known University of Toronto alumnus. Or at the very least
of their grad program in aerospace engineering. I got a PhD at a very
young age, something like 22. Immediately got a job with a Canadian
military lab.
He apparently owned some sort of a lab right across the border, with an
entry on both sides, and he was mostly funded by the US military. His
dream actually was to build a big gun powerful enough to get into orbit.
What got him is that somehow he had built a supply for som4e of the stuff
he needed in South Africa when the blocus was put in place (I wish I would
remember what it was). He decided to continue in violation of the blocus
and got caught.
At which point, by lack of options, he went to offer his big gun project
to Iraq. Ended up murdered by the mossad in Brussels.

I was a grad studewnt at McGill when he was doing his thing there. He
had a "firing range" that involved firing his cannon from Quebec into
Vermont - or was it New Hampshire? Anywah, this led to a number of
jokes about Canada going to war with the USA.
>His dream actually was to build a big gun powerful enough to get into orbit.
His project was HARP, High Altitude Research project, and that was his
hope.
