I liked your article on induction lighting history.
One correction; Tesla was a Serb (Serbian), not from Canada.
He was an apprentice to Edison for awhile, but when he tried to persuade Edison that A.C. was the way to go, Edison basically told him he was wasting his time and they parted company.
Tesla found a friend in George Westinghouse and Westinghouse got most of Tesla's patents for next to nothing and Tesla died in near poverty.

As much as I would to say he was, Tesla was not a Canadian
