The other thing to do is check the history of the entries on some Canadian
cities. Although it's not exact, it would likely return at least a few
Canadians. For instance, the article [[Quebec City]] was started on
3/27/2001 by Stephen Gilbert. A quick check of Stephen Gilbert's user page
says he's in New Brunswick. Voila, it's proven.

You could also look for old wikipedians in the list of canadians:

In a few moments, I'll try to coax some information out of the database
about that.
Actually, there were no categories in the early days, so some of the
earliest Canadian contributors who left the project would not appear on
that list.

shows a definite Canadian
edit as early as July 20, 2001.
