wow you are realy sth!
at that time ppl don't know what realy happened, and whatever they said is from their assumption of true reason of the case.
Now after know what happend, maybe u r the only one still will say sth like that.
I am curious what happened to u after u came to Canada?
Maybe there are things happened and those things are out of other's imagination?
If that is the case I apologize to u for being mean.
and wish you good luck and have a bright life.
