[@Jarjarjar21]

Yikes! I've enjoyed history tales since I was a kid. This vid is a skeleton of the history.... I've some ancestors who were among the first French settlers in the French colony even before Louis XIV named it Nouvelle France... Lists of the ancestors in our family were the Loyalists. One married a Cayuga woman of the Six Nations. Some came later from the UK and more from Ireland. The European states England, France, the Netherlands (New York was previously new Amsterdam) fought each other and the indigenous populations. There was something issued by the Pope at Rome. The Doctrine of Discovery established a spiritual, political, and legal justification for colonization and seizure of land not inhabited by Christians. It has been invoked since Pope Alexander VI issued the Papal Bull “Inter Caetera” in 1493. This Papal decree is the foundation of much genocide ( this includes residential schools mentioned). You might say this Papal Bull is the source of several hundred years of Bullsh** in North America... There is plenty of history to discover. Cheerio

A Ph.D. doesn't mean much these days. Just a glorified hobbyist.... College shouldn't hold that much weight anyway. The true geniuses of the past taught themselves once they reached the proper age. College is just a prescribed dogma in certain fields these days.

Unlike you, the internet isn't all that important to me. I don't need it to live my life, nor do I sit in an armchair writing any of this crap. I actually have a life, kid. Maybe you should go out and do the same instead of trying to play quick quip in the youtube comment sections. But by the looks of it I doubt anyone would even want to be around someone like you anyway. And by the way, I don't have to know you personally to call you out for what you are. You all wear your feelings on your sleeves. And you go online all day long and cry about it. You literally won't shut the hell up about it. So basically a person with even slightest bit of awareness of what's going on around them can see plain as day what your all made of. And to be perfectly honest anyone who isn't a contrarian in this day and age is probably just some self loathing jackass getting sucked along with the new wave of bullshit being pushed by the mainstream.

Am so glad that you took time to discuss the residential schools.

[@johnchardine1886]

Very useful. A couple of points: "New France" exists today as the tiny set of islands off Newfoundland and Labrador called St. Pierre et Miquelon. The completion of the railroad across Canada in 1885 should be given a lot of exposure but has none here. It cemented Canada from coast to coast and was a condition of BC joining the confederation.

[@Giaayokaats]

13:05 - Whether or not the Metis won or lost in 1869-70 has to do with interpretation. The Manitoba act acquiesced to most of the Metis demands, so one could make the case that we initially won the conflict. However, the federal government did not necessarily uphold all of the agreements made in the act, and at times altered it so that they wouldn't have to follow through. These sharp dealings are a big part of what led to 1885. So in the long run, we did lose. Also, I would argue that 1869-70 should be seen as a resistance rather than a rebellion, as we were resisting the imposition of an outside government rather than rebelling against an already established one.

[@Giaayokaats]

Also, 13:27 Manitoba was also largely unsettled by Europeans at this point, with whites making up only 12% of the population settled there in 1870 (83% were Metis, and 5% were First Nations (mostly Saulteaux and Cree)) Interestingly, the term "settler" meant something very different in Red River at this time, with the term frequently being applied to Metis and Saulteaux, while whites frequently distanced themselves from the term, at least until the 1880s.

You missed the areas that were Canada but became parts of the United States. Thinking of the parts of the pays d'en haut of New France which became part of the province of Quebec under the British. It later became part of the Old Northwest under the U.S. and eventually several states like Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin. Detroit elected representatives to the Western District of Quebec at least until 1792 and the city wasn't turned over to the U.S. until 1796, thirteen years after the treaty ended the war.

Large numbers of Loyalist also emigrated to Nova Scotia. So many in fact arrived that for a short period the town of Shelburne where they settled became one of the largest cities in North America. The subsequent movement of many of these Loyalist to the Saint John River Valley caused the partitioning of Nova Scotia into the colonies of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

You should have also mention the Upper and Lower Canadian Rebellion of 1837-38. The Canadian (mostly French but also from Irish and Scottish origin) fought against the British army to gain independence. Those event led to the Act of Union of 1840 and later the Confederation of 1867, as suggested in the Durham's Report. Lord Durham treated the french (and the other nation of the territory) as racially inferior (compared to the british) in his report and the only way to get rid of them will be by assimilate them with a unified country. This is mostly why there still is some tension between Quebec and the federal government of today.

If you are on unceded territory, are you not obligated to leave?

I only assume that the words are spoken to make everyone feel better without having to do anything of substance.

I'm also increasingly more interested in learning about Canadian history, especially after the 215 indigenous remains found at Kamloops residential school.

I’ve always been confused by what happened during the 1700s in Nova Scotia. So in-depth, this is perfect 👍👍👍 Also:I like pictures.

He got some info wrong. Nova Scotia was called Acadia first then changed to Nova Scotia after the British brought over the planters who were from Scotland . That's where the name comes from. New Scotland Nova Scotia.

You missed one important segment, the war of 1812. Without it, Canadian History would not be complete.

I always thought that what would become Ontario and most of English speaking Canada was set up to accommodate British loyalists from the U.S or primarily settled by them. Is that true, for all or most of the provinces?
