Can't answer that for you. the only piece of Canadian history I know
comes from one of two places- hockey history, or the history I learned
of the French and Indian War and the Battle of Quebec.

  I just have one comment on the history part of all this, how come
Americans don't have to learn anything about Canadian history in there
schools whereas when i wanted to take a History course, it's American
history??? My OAC History class which was Canadian History in a North
American Perspective was more American history than it was Canadian, i
learned all about the settling of the US and the Civil War and such, and
yes it was interesting, but i wanted to do canadian history.....about
the only Canadian content in the course was about how when the Americans
split from great britain, they thought we were arming all the natives
hence the right to bear arms going in the constitution.  ah well.
