Sorry, but no.
You have my sympathy, though, since as an Australian I can sadly relate.
They beat the USA in war!
No it's fucking boring as shit.

This, the battle of paschendale and killing some nativez
...
It's interesting between 1750 and 1800. Lots of stuff happened, including anglocucks (AKA loyalists) ruining the real Canada because they were a bunch of fucking losers.
>ruining the real Canada
What is this?
> What is French Canada.
Quebec is all the history that matters in Canada
the Acadian Deportation never happened, but it should have
Theme #1: Settlers vs. Natives
Theme #2: Anglo vs. Franco
Phase #1: Exploration and settling
Phase #2: New France and War
Phase #3: British Colony
Phase #4: Independence
It's BORING. We're stable and nothing happens. Only interesting parts occur in Phase #1 and Phase #2, but it's still like a side show in an international world wars.
Nah. Some Canadian troops always end up distinguishing themselves in wars abroad, but nothing happens in Canada.
Canada didn't become a country until 1982. If you aren't sovereign, you aren't a country.
This, Anglo Canadians are just thinner burgers desu.
The history of the Americas in general are boring.
t. Canadian
Canada is the Fredo Corleone of Countries.
Speak for yourself leaf. Literally every other North, Central, and South American country has a more interesting history than Canada.
No it’s not, don’t project on everyone else because your history sucks ass.
The Fenian raids is the sole WTF thing I find in Canadian History.

This playlist is what is considered history around these parts now a days.
Maybe Mexico, but every South American country is literal-who tier and America is meme tier.
It is, now it's time to go fishing, Freddy.
South American History is very exciting, if not well published.

Are you seriously implying that Canada's history is more interesting than the US's?
Come on, you're BTFO by sheer volume.
The Spanish War is more interesting than anything Canada ever did
Canada has the comfiest history. And the comfiest documentaries.
They still have a Governor General, so they're not really independent even today.
Correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't the PM actually need the GG's permission to form a government?
South America have history, North are colonies gone wrong
Not even us Canadians bother with Canadian history.
DankHistoryMemes from iFunny is better since he's from Minnesota
I'm honestly convinced most Canadians don't realize Trump isn't their President
the most remarkable moment in Canadian history was the city of Halifax exploding
Delft did it better
Why do they still have the Queen of England as a monarch?
commonwealth meme
canada was given its independence after all
the original beta country
What?
>What is upper and lower Canada
Canada doesn't belong to Earth
The only thing noteworthy about canada is the part where they become bootlickers for the crown. Other than that it's just another part of American history.
Why do Canadians pronounce about "a boot"? They sound retarded
They don't. They have a legally distinct Crown that happens to share a monarch with the UK and fifteen other countries.
it sounds more like "a boat"
Stupid west coasters
Redpill me on Australian history. Why is a minor figure like Ned Kelly so revered? We have dozens of famous outlaws like him in US history (minus the suit of armor).
the settling of the west and how the natives played the us/canadians off each other in trade, how the natives fought each other, the signing of the treaties, and the politics of the treaties are all pretty interesting. of course there’s no giant bloody battles, so nu-historians ignore it in favor of pop-history
what you implying?
A boat is more of a western thing. Aboot is more midwestern
Nu-historians love boring non-violent shit, though.
Gee it sure does suck having a country that is mostly stable in the past, present and future, and is only disturbed by you dumb loud fucks who just need to shit on everything with war, famine, extermination and unrest.
Yep, sure does suck being boring.
That was true up until about 20 years ago, you've become a diverse society now though, enjoy the cultural enrichment...
Kicking ass and burning down the White House was pretty interesting.
Any why do you think that happened? The rest of the world started shitting on everything, and ruined it for us.
True, your Prime Minister Harper didn't help things though by pushing a neo-liberal globalist agenda and involving Canadian troops in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
No. Canada is only 150 years old.
And within it's short lifespan, my province (Nova Scotia) has been a part of Canada less years.
Basically a province called "Canada" (made up of Quebec and Ontario) usurped a bunch of independent colonies.
Quebec (lower Canada) now wants to split. And if original Canada wants to divide, then what does that say about Canadian nationalism? It's stupid. Poutine, for example, was invented in the fifties, and Quebec gets offended when it's called a "Canadian dish". But the Alexander Keith Brewery existed far before Canada was even a country, yet Nova Scotians aren't upset that it's called a "Canadian beer".
Canada is stupid.
Yes, the Queen approves the government.
Why would we not? You some sort of filthy republican, lad?
Not an argument.
>No. Canada is only 150 years old
*35
It's literally just the armour and the shootout it was used in. Australia also had heaps of bushrangers too but none of them are as aesthetic.

Real education Real experience Real state of Canada
hurr durr canada didnt exist until 1867
by that logic, america didnt exist until after the revolutionary war so therefore america didnt beat the british.
USA founded in 1776
Revolutionary War ended in 1783
This, pretty retarded logic desu
Jesus fuck you're retarded
So this is the power of Canadian education... whoa
not really, its all just a nod to the past
America is fascinated with the Royal family. They wish they still had a Queen but are afraid to admit it.
Managed to stay out of the embarrassing disaster of Iraq though
ohh grow up, bluenoser
In urban areas yes just like everywhere else in the world. But all rural areas are is whites with some natives who are by far the worst minority.
>you've become a diverse society now though, enjoy the cultural enrichment..
>Chinese
>Indians
Ooh I'm so scared.
I want to have a monarchy, just not an American house.
Our first prime minister was a raging alcoholic
They're trying to rename all the schools named after him because he was mean to the injuns :(
Because she's their rightful ruler. Who else could be the monarch?
It's the constructed American nationalism which has made Republicanism one of its core tenants.
>Canadians are so devoid of history that claiming credit for the british burning down the white house is literally all they have to the point where they short circuit if you tell them the truth
lol
That was the British though, not Canada
>burgers assravaged that their white house got burned down by their hat
>by their hat
but it didnt, it was burned down by the British. Its not our fault that Canada isnt relevant and has no interesting history so you have to claim credit for ONE thing that you didnt even do. Stay mad leafcuck and enjoy the cultural enrichment of all the south americans we are about to deport which Truduea is inviting into Canada
Louis Riel and his revolts were interesting as fuck.
Reminder that it wa Geogre Cockburn, a British officer, commanding British troops, who burned down the white house. He never set foot on canadian soil btw
Reminder that George Cockburn cockburned the White House in a war started over annexing Canada to the United States. So you still got cucked by Canada, since the British wouldn't even be there if not for Canada destroying you on their home turf.
>battle of the plains of abraham
>expulsion of the acadians
>red river rebellion
>the quiet revolution
Most of the interesting stuff is due to french-anglo tensions.
It snows and they have maple syrup... that's about it.
>Gee it sure does suck having a country that is mostly stable in the past, present and future
Yeah, about that...
>small band of butthurt half native niggas walk around winnipeg threatening rebellion before getting BTFO
wow, sooooooo interesting.
One, nobody gives a fuck about that. Two, we won that war anyway, so who cares. The Persians burnt down Athens and nobody cared, because they won the war.
But most importantly, that wasn't Canada. It wasn't even a British man born or raised in Canada. The Canadian territory was only tangentially related to the conflict, like Belgium in WWI.
Avatarfagging is a bannable offense, weebcuck.
hi where are the arguments?
>c*ck
oh wait i'm talking to a braindead mong, you have none by default.
go suck on some of that putrid dishwater they call coffee at your local timmies, buddy.
>dumb anime poster once again lives up to stereotypes
Garbage in, garbage out.
>The Persians burnt down Athens and nobody cared, because they won the war.
The British burned down Washington AND won the war, what are you trying to say?
