    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.

      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....

    "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.

      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.

    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.

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. But unless you want to get into the controversial, & the depressing, you're not going to really learn anything. There is much that's good, too, I think.

Why do we have to teach history as a linear bunch of dates and boring facts. If it was taught as a collection of stories it would encourage students curiosity and maybe they would go on long after high school to learn because they are interested and curious.

I certainly would have been much more interested if I had been taught that there were battles fought a few miles down the road!

      @@yoda5280 "Canada's oldest and most colonial province but still Canada's youngest and coolest province at the same time." it's a paradox, and I'm not going to apologize if you just don't get it. British Colonies in North America were often called provinces long before Canada became a thing, and Newfoundland is the oldest colony in North America.
      Many things that were oldest or first in all of North America happened right here, to the point where spoken English resembles that of the British Isles or heavily influenced by French more so than American or Canadian English, as is the case in other parts of Canada. For example: what's the oldest civil police force in North America? The RNC.
      Late 1940s? 1 April 1949 to be exact.
      Canada's coolest province? Well, we have Inuit, Innu, people of mixed descent, Micmacs, an extinct tribe of Beothuk indians, and a mixture of European ancestry all wrapped up in a native population package similar in size to the city of Hamilton. Built in diversity in a small number of people. With a a population density of 1.4 people per square kilometre, lots of room to roam, especially with the majority of land being public.
      The declining population is due to a defeatist attitude that is instilled upon NL children from birth that "there's nothing here for you, you have to move away from here", similar to the attitude you seem to have. Couple that with an aging population and low birth rates (two generations ago it was all big families, now many are choosing to not have kids anymore) ther's not much chance for growth. The economy's current downward trajectory is mainly following the price of oil, which is something NL has no control over, just like Alberta. Chief difference is that our job losses aren't so bad because offshore oil doesn't require nearly as much labour that land-based oil extraction does.
      Ontario is, for all intents and purposes, more American than Canadian. Show anyone a picture of a Main St. in Indiana and a Main St. in Southern Ontario with no flags, metric signage or license plates to telltale, and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The Fort of York would have fallen to the Americans if it wasn't for the Newfoundland Regiment showing up and defeating them, sending them back across Lake Ontario. There's a statue commemorating this at the bottom of Bathurst Street in Toronto.

Yes, we do not use the terms Eskimo for the Inuit and Dene, nor do we use Indian for Indigenous or the First Nations, but otherwise that was a very interesting depiction of our history and I particularly appreciated the well done graphics.

      @nze the Chinese never used gun powder as a weapon, they used it for fireworks. The indigenous population never needed gun powder as the Americas where extremely fruitful with game(large reason why some "tribes" never formed settlements). The larger issue with the settlement of the Americans was the introduction to smallpox and other diseases. Prior to the settlement the Amercias population could have rivaled Europe, even with gun powder the population was sick and dieing from something foreign to them. A big example is the Spanish conquest into the central America and the Aztec population.

    The question of Quebecois autonomy remains a complicator of Canadian life. Visited Quebec, noted that one almost never sees the Canadian flag, while the provincial one is everywhere. And most folks speak French in daily life (with a substantial number bilingual), while the rest of Canada is unmoveably monolingual in English. Quebec is a distinct, self-conscious nation within a nation, and the final chapter hasn't been written yet.

    Le territoire du Canada a été officiellement découvert par Jacques Cartier en 1534. Déjà, avant lui, des pêcheurs basques et portugais venaient sur les côtes du Labrador et sur les bancs de Terre-Neuve. Québec, la plus ancienne ville d'Amérique du Nord, a été fondée en 1608 par Samuel de Champlain. En 1633, le chef montagnais Capitanal invite Champlain à s'établir de façon permanente à Trois-Rivières afin de renforcer leur alliance et pour sécuriser le site, menacé par les Iroquois. Montréal a été fondé en 1642 par Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve. L'origine du mot Canada remonte à 1535 alors que Kanata était employé.

    The merge between Upper and Lower Canada was an attempt to assimilate the French populations (which obviously did not work) and also to feed the growing economy (debt) of the English side that spent a lot on developping an economy, while in the east, it was more about life in the fields or in the woods

      Exactly, if I remember correctly, Lower Canada has like 95 000$ of debt while Upper Canada had around 1 000 000$ of debt. When they merged the two territories, they merged the debts two so basically french canadians had to pay for the construction of canals in Upper Canada that would make their economy weaker.
      Another things is that the population of Lower Canada had a higher population but they both got the same number of deputies at the assembly (which is really undemocratical). When the Upper Canada got more population than Lower, they reclaimed REP BY POP so they got more seats than Lower.

    Great vid. Except the "indians" and the "eskimo" stuff already covered by many people. One of the main reason that Canada stayed with the British is that the crown gave back a lot of autonomy and religious rights and such to the french people. In case of loyalist, of course a lot came, but there is also a lot of "americans" who settled inside Canada not knowing they crossed the border, notably in the eastern township in Québec. NewFoundland stayed with the UK after the Constitution act and was transfered by Canada only after WW2 (you said it, but it wasnt on the map prior). Doing so, they draw the new border of Labrador and Québec province with the watershed line. To this day, some people from Québec are still salty with that, since later a lot of ressources were found in the countryside. Fun fact, the mapple leaf on the canadian flag is not the mapple leaf indigenous of Canada, but one from Norway... The constitution of 1982 saw the betrayal of the english province to the province of Québec. They indeed decided the final form and signed the constitution during the night while the PM of Québec was sleeping. To this day, Québec never sign it. Thanks for the last second of the video when you spoke about Québec. Your channel is great.

    @squeekytoy123 4 года назад +4

    Coming from a Canadian, this skated over much of the nastier aspects of our history. Two largest being:
    1. the railway was built so quickly because the hardest and most dangerous jobs were done by Chinese immigrants in incredibly unsafe working conditions. Hundreds died, and when they finally settled on the west coast they were treated terribly by white settlers. This culminated in 1907 when much of Chinatown was burned to the ground and Chinese property was destroyed.
    2. Residential schools! Native children were taken away from their families and put into Christian led indoctrination schools for over 150 years in Canada. These schools were underfunded and many children experienced were abuse. This led to a cycle of poverty and abuse that exists today. The last school only closed in 1996.

The bayonet that Commonwealth countries used in WW2 looked like a spike attached to the Lee Enfield Mrk 4 rifle versus the short sword bayonet attached to the Lee Enfield Mrk 1 rifle during WW1. I will give you credit that the poster is a WW1 poster.

      Its one of the main reasons indigenous people in Canada (within these areas) believe they still have claim to their land, too! Because HB company had made contracts with individual native groups of the area to basically be allowed to use the land for company stuff. So when HB sold the land as if they OWNED it, the natives were up in arms. Same thing happened in BC! So the Natives believe they never surrendered their land.
