Originally posted by malek how can you teach Canadian history when most of the ROC is barely a 100 years old?

Well, Canada is about 140yrs old...

There's a lot of history in 140yrs. Lots of worthy stuff to know about.

I wrote that in a bit of a hurry yesterday, but most of Canada, west of Quebec and worse, west of Ontario, which has a 100 years of existence... with no conflicts, no wars and no big turmoils... there's no history.

Quebec city and province has a 400 years history, but its relatively short and simple compared to the stuff that happened on the other side of the atlantic if you follow my drift here.

Lacking conflicts?
Since 1867, Riel Rebellion, the Boer War, WW1&2, the Korean War, various peacekeeping missions (and yes, in some, there were shots fired), now Afghanistan.

If you go before confederation, you can add all those colonial wars brits and french fought in canada.

I don't think Canada's history is any less complex than any other nations. Perhaps very different, and short, but still worth learning about and have plenty to be proud about.
