Sandra Braman has an article coming out on the Internationalization of the Internet, as part of her series on the RFCs. I believe it was Norway, not Canada. It was definitely in the first decade, so well before 1985. (Unfortunately, I read the draft article last fall, and can't find a published citation.)

According to the English Wikipedia article on ARPANET Norway got connected in 1968, one year before the net even existed. Beat that, Canada! :p http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arpanet#Growth_and_evolution (Seriously though, according to NORSAR we got online in 1973. http://www.norsar.no/pc-5-30-NORSAR-and-the-Internet.aspx ) Anders S.

I believe that Canada was connected to the then-American Internet before Norway and UK. Sorry, can't document, but as always bear embraced us (and vice-versa), and Sue Thomas and John-Willy Bakke overlooked us. Feeling neglected is so Canadian. :)
