James Bond was Canadian

Saw this amazing biography on Sir Ian Flemming (creator of James Bond) and it stated that the "James Bond" character was based entirely on a Canadian service agent and his lifestlye...right down to the martinis..apparently not only did he have a thing for martinis, but he would drink a litre of one at a time. They (the 'agent' and Ian Flemming) ended up being neighbours in the Bahamas...Ian Flemming named his estate 'Goldeneye' in the sixties.

    The man's name was Sir William Stephenson. You can read about him in the book, "A Man Called Intrepid." :spade:
