[@EpimetheusHistory]

Many people(especially Canadians) have commented about the use of the word "Eskimo" on the map. It has a much more controversial historical context in Canadian history, compared to its usage in Alaska and the continental United States; that I did not know about. This appears to be significantly due to the fact that the Canadian government issued "Eskimo tags" which had a number instead of the bearer's name that was used for official purposes. I would be interested to read anyone's experiences or knowledge on this topic to give further context. The word Inuit simply means people, while the etymology of Eskimo is unconfirmed according to the below article. In my opinion, the word "Eskimo" is not inherently inappropriate-However given it's historical context especially in Canada it harkens back to when it has been used in a bigoted context. I would be especially interested to read any opinions from any Inuit/indigenous Arctic people and thier opinions on the term. Below are two articles that someone has posted in the comments that you can read to get more context on this issue. www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2016/04/24/475129558/why-you-probably-shouldnt-say-eskimo www.vice.com/en_ca/article/xd7ka4/the-little-known-history-of-how-the-canadian-government-made-inuit-wear-eskimo-tags

Decriminalize Darwinism coming from an actual 6’ 5” full blooded Denesuline Native STFU, scumbags like yourself should do actual research first making a fool out of yourself, there are 3 major ethnic groups who make up Canada something this guy on the video forget to mention the 3 major ethnic groups are Natives aka First Nations, Inuits aka Eskimo and Métis aka Mixed Natives with Europeans. Here’s something wannabes don’t know or get. No one says part Native in Canada because there 635 First Nations Tribes and that’s not including Inuits and Metis in fact mixed Natives are their own people they don’t claim to be part of full blood tribes. Because of their European blood. Instead developed a culture and language of their own by mixing their Native and European heritage together....

Just a comment to educate any viewers interested: Micmac is actually spelled Mi'kmaq and is pronounced "Mig-maw". Additionally, us Mi'kmaq traditionally referred to ourselves as L'nu, meaning people of the tongue or language. Our traditional territory of Mi'kma'ki actually covers all of the Atlantic provinces, up to the Gaspe région of Quebec, as well as a portion of Maine.

[@cameronlight8504]

Went to school in the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia, before any class we'd have to acknowledge where the land came from (the mi'kmaq peoples). Admittedly it was a little silly considering we're just acknowledging the fact the land was unjustly taken from the original owners. Then again, Acadia seems to pride itself on making dumb decisions lol

[@firstconsul7286]

"The English and the French did not coexist peacefully." That's a great summary of 90% of Anglo-French relations Jeez y'all need to chill with the political nonsense. Apparently I need to spell this out: this is a joke about the frequent wars between the Kingdom of England, later the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Kingdom (Republic or Empire) of France. It has nothing to do with the demographics of Canada, or whatever situation you may feel is in Quebec, besides that the English and French fought over Nouvelle France/Quebec a couple times, a few hundred years ago.

[@coldlakealta4043]

The Indigenous nations of this country were brought to near extinction by the hate and arrogance of the European colonialists and the Church, esp the RC Church. 155 years after Confederation countless Indigenous people live in squalor without even drinkable water and access to medical services. We may be beautiful geographically, but we live with a legacy of racism equal to places such as the US and South Africa. The destruction wrought by the residential schools outreached any operated by the Nazis in Germany. As a white Canadian I am ashamed. We need the unvarnished Truth, and actually meaningful Reconciliation past political posturing by vote-seeking politicians who forget their promises on election day. _Every Child Counts_

@@coldlakealta4043 - Yeah, a lot of nasty things were done by a lot of people to a lot of people all over the world always. Even the indigenous nations on the land that is present-day Canada to each other. Let's be crystal clear about all that. The past was brutal everywhere. The Mongol invasions of Europe and Asia wiped out over 10% of the earth's population at the time. No one, nowhere, had it easy. Let's all work towards a better, more enlightened, more universal, future for everyone. Fair and balanced and free. It's a question of raising consciousness, sensibility, getting our hierarchy of values ordered, aligned, blessed. A brutal massacre by a modern army against a defenseless people is happening right now as I write in Gaza. 12,000 children dead and counting. Been going on for months. What are we collectively today doing to stop it? Not much. Is there a spiritual/ aesthetic/ ethical dimension that we can tune into and bring heaven closer to earth or do only mundane finances and resource-capture and armies count? With all the inherent human-all-too-human frailties and mistakes and corruptions over the eons, these are the questions the religions have been grappling with, including the Church and the RC Church. Peace on earth and goodwill towards all mankind.

I've found it quite a challenge to learn my own country's history, compared to how much I've learnt about US history through edutainment. I think Canadians have a lot less pride in our history--& in a way, I'm learning that that's not necessarily a bad thing. I feel like we have been ashamed of parts of our past--our relationships with the indigenous peoples, for example. Too ashamed to look back & try to gloss over it.

[@rdcloutier]

A few other random comments: 1. Most of Canada is on treaty territory that belongs to First Nations. It has become practice in Canada to ask permission of a First Nation before new development takes place on their land. Lengthy consultation with First Nations groups usually proceeds any new industrial development. 2. Much like President Obama put a moratorium on industrial development in the Arctic, Canada followed suit in 2016. This has created much anger and division in Arctic communities, which are mostly Gwich'in, Dene or Inuvialuit, as it has ended their primary income sources: Oil and gas development, and diamond mining. Canada's federal government focuses more on climate change than it does on the economic development of the north. Many First Nations communities are only reachable by plane, as there's no roads into communities, and do not have potable water so boil water advisories are in place. To say the Canadian North is neglected is the understatement of the century. 3. Canada in general is experiencing severe housing issues, particularly in the cities of Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, but most other major cities are also experiencing it. As Canada has a negative birth rate, the government relies on immigration for population growth. Immigration tends to be intentionally designed to bring in people who have little to no qualifications, for the purpose of filling employment areas Canadians will not touch. This is, in a sense, wage slavery. Combine it with the housing crisis that exists, and housing starts that cannot keep up with population growth, and you have both a housing crisis and race hate occurring in the country at an alarming rate. 4. Politically, the major newspaper chain in Canada is owned by GOP Republicans, and the Conservative Party of Canada has close ties to the GOP, especially Trump loyalists. The media in Canada has turned into a Liberal hate machine, with constant angry messages directed to the Prime Minister and ruling party. This is amplified by most provinces having Conservative leaders, and provincial Premiers intentionally doing the opposite of the federal government in an order to create an atmosphere of public rage against the government. There has been a recent assassination attempt against the Prime Minister which Canadian media refuse to call an assassination attempt. The Deputy Prime Minister was attacked in a hospital she went to visit in her home town. The RCMP, Canada's police force, is running out of officers to provide security for elected officials, because the threat of violence of death is very real. Canadians are in general an angry, paranoid and vile group of people at this time, because of the amount of rage farming taking place by the media and the Conservative Party. 5. While I am not a supporter of the Conservatives, a confusing aspect of Canadian politics is Canada is perhaps the most blessed country in the world when it comes to natural resources: trees, oil, gas, water, space for solar or wind farming, 75% of the world's uranium supply and the world's safest and biggest nuclear power station, plus Canada is known for developing clean technologies such as carbon capture making oil, gas and coal all viable. The world is currently experiencing an energy crisis which could easily be solved by Canada, but the Canadian government is blocking this from happening. Canada also has perhaps the greatest reserves of mining materials, which are once again being blocked by government. Canada could easily be the richest country in the world per capita, and have the ability for mass immigration of highly educated and skilled workers, but our government is not willing to do this. As Canada is experiencing high inflation, it is baffling to most Canadians as to why we don't take advantage of our resources in this time of economic need. 6. A final thought on Canada: When powers were handed out between federal and provincial jurisdiction 100 years ago, the provinces were given control of the areas the feds felt with less important - health care, schools, social programs. 100 years later and the important portfolios are at the provincial level. A number of provincial leaders, who are Conservatives, are finding ways to outsource as much health care delivery as possible as a way of busting unions, doing the same with education as a way to break the union and greatly decrease what teachers are paid, and eliminating as many social programs as possible, putting the onus on non-profit agencies to help people. Provincial governments are proving to be devastating and are redefining Canada into a country where there is very little kindness, empathy or care for children, seniors, and those with physical or mental illness. Canada is slowly becoming a disgusting country, and the blame for this mess has been placed entirely on Prime Minister Trudeau, who in truth is neither a good or a bad Prime Minister.

And on a related note, I hated US history for the longest time due to how it was presented to me in my American highschool classes, but I have recently gained a better appreciation for it by spending this summer volunteering at a local fort, and learning about the great military history (of which I am a fan) that occurred near my hometown, and never even knew! I certainly would have been much more interested if I had been taught that there were battles fought a few miles down the road!

Cool video man

Good summary! I like the red maple leaf with the blue side bars on either side of the flag instead of the red side bars; these would be a nod to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans as well as a nod to the red white and blue of the Union Jack.

Laurie I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this compliment. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹

Epimetheus I enjoyed the Short History of Canada that you brought to us through this Video.It is not meant to be comprehensive but still gives us an outline which included the most important events in Canadian History bring us down to Canada today. Thank you for the well done Narration and the effort and research to put this together.

One important event that even many Canadians don't know to well: During the Klondike gold rush the lower Alaskan border which was not properly defined became an issue between Canada and the US due to it providing the best access to the Yukon region. Both Canada and the US agreed to allow Britain to mediate the matter, which they did by dividing the land evenly, however they failed to provide Canada with the primary concession they wanted (direct water access to the pacific). The UK had been wanting to improve relations with the US and as a result Canada felt betrayed by the UK. While the immediate effects were minor the event is significant as it is the first case of strong nationalistic sentiment largely kicking off the move towards fuller independence and notably helped the Laurier government move forward on the matter.

Newfoundland is great and unique. Also liked Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec. Very friendly people and amazing landscapes.

[@norcofreerider604]

Very occasionally you also come across an old timer that was born in Newfoundland but not in Canada.

I needed this. Either I suck at learning or my social studies teacher sucks at teaching 💀

[@Elpollodelicioso]

British Columbia is my favourite. 10 mountain ranges, Huge coastline with tons of hidden gems, big ass arid region in the okanogan with beautiful lakes, best skiing in the world, the list goes on. I also love the Alberta rockies and the foothills in Southern Alberta. Basically if you're a mountains or ocean person, I think BC is the best.

[@personincognito3989]

Same. Cheers from the Okanagan

Mountains get in the way. You can’t see the view and it takes forever to drive around and through them. Prairies all the way!

[@jackmills2650]

@@KasimirStanley My social studies class focused heavily on first nations history. My province's curriculum certainly covered residential schools.

Yea I’m native and in my school they teach us about it and there is a movie about it called Indian horse

Because it only impacted half a percent of the population and had no impact on the future of Canada.

[@yoursgautamchauhan]

Well Explained 🔥

[@andrewferry]

Slight correction: the Constitutions Act of 1867 gave Canada the powers of a constitutional monarchy still needing the british approval to pass laws. The statute of Westminister is what gave Canada full legal authority over its laws and government.

“The Hudson Bay Company is still in existence today, mainly as a retail store chain sharing the same name” I should not have laughed at that as hard as I did 🤣🤣🤣

[@dynad00d15]

especially with the fact that it is now owned by americans.. :D

[@salemnoir1]

And they call themself The Bay. Wow!!!, Genious!!,,

[@louiselloyd1523]

and sadly the HBC retail store is a sad shadow of it's former self. They no longer sell beaver pelts. LOL

Many Germans prefer Whitehorse. In, the summer, it has almost 22 hours of daylight (land of the midnight sun) and incredible, undiscribable, unblemished nature.
