, , , History's most controversial Canadian. That title was earned by ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL, the alleged "inventor" of the telephone. This device actually was originated by some Italian dude named Tony, about 40 years before Bell's bogus patents. These latter purloined papers prompted at least 587 lawsuits by hard-working blue collar Americans against a cohort of cutthroat Canadians well-known for their shady business practices. However, as was the case with Old Tom Edison and Hank Ford, reputed "inventors" whose surnames become household words inevitably turn out to be brazen self-promoters, litigious money misers constantly tooting their own horns, obsessed with becoming resource hoarders building mountains of miserable money from their ill-gotten loot while crafting "legacies" and writing fraudulent "histories." As this Picture proves, at best Bell came up with a new style of cracker.
