How long does it take to get to the ferry from Dublin to Canada?
There are no direct ferries from Northern Ireland to France. So to do this would involve travelling from Northern Ireland to another Ferry Port, such as Rosslare in the Republic of Ireland and going from there. The ferry journey is between 17 and 20 hours, depending on weather conditions. Driving to Rosslare from Northern Ireland would be at least 2 hours, depending on your start point.
How did the Aboriginals use the land of Canada?
Aborigines were resourceful people who extracted a variety of colours from their natural environment.
They obtained red, orange, dark purple, brown and orange from grinding ochre to a powder. Ochre was found naturally in rock stained by iron, which would give it the reddish hues.
Yellow was obtained by mixing clay, or by collecting pebbles that contained a limonite-stained form of kaolin.
White also came from the kaolin, or even white clays. Calcite, a chalky mineral, as well as ash are used to make white pigments. Calcite occurs naturally in calcrete deposits.
Black was obtained from charcoal, and could be mixed with kaolin to make grey.
Dark green was made from plant colourings.
Tree bark, crushed shells and blood also gave variety of colour. The availability of some colours are peculiar to the area that the artist finds himself in.
These paint bases were mixed with fluids such as saliva, blood, tree sap or yolk of various birds' eggs to help them adhere.
Twigs, fibres and fingers were used for painting to get different strokes like a paint brush.

English found Canada
French found Canada

How did the railway affect the first nations?
When the Europeans first settled in the east, many First Nation tribes fought to keep their land. When they lost their land they moved into the west. This was no problem in the beginning, however; the problem emerged when the CPR was created, starting in the east, and began to move more and more Europeans out west. The First Nations were forced even farther west until the CPR was completed "from coast to coast" and the First Nations had no where else to go. Without the CPR, the Europeans would not have settled as quickly into the west, leaving the First Nations more time to fight for their land.

As found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calgary and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petro-Canada_Centre December 20 2007.
Add the height of the Petro building to Calgary's downtown elevation. Canada Olympic Park's ski jump is the next highest. If you are talking strictly about land elevation, I don't know, but it's not much less.
