2. Being a Canadian: Crystal Ball

Here’s another fun fact about being a Canadian. Did you know, William Lyon Mackenzie King (he’s the one on Canada’s $50 bill) also tried to get advice from his dead mother at séances he held in his home. You can still see his crystal ball in the library of Laurier House in Ottawa – now a National Historic Site.
