Why don't they teach Canadian history in school anymore...

Why don't they teach Canadian history in school anymore? I barely know anything about my nations history because they never taught me, and of course when they did it was about DA MEAN OL WHITEY. I feel like Canada has some interesting history I was never told about. Is it like this in other countries as well?

voyages of samuel de champlain are absolutely based, he kills 2 iroquois chiefs in his first battle with his arquebus and smashes an entire iroquois war party. fall of huronia, war of 1812, louis riel rebellion, west coast gold rush and then confederation are the usual topics covered in an entry level canadian history course.

>Canadian """"""""""history""""""""""

>iroquois wars
>war of 1812
>battle of vimy ridge
>battle of ypres
>battle of the somme
>juno beach
>liberation of belgium

yeah nah fuck off cunt

They do. It is mandatory throughout elementary and middle school, as well as grade 10.

I learned about it in school, I'm only 22 so it wasn't very long ago either.

Why not teach yourself? Are people really this fucking lazy and soonfed nowadays? Do your own research if you are interested!

They do teach a fair bit in 10th grade, but yeah the subject is taught quite lax.

*spoonfed

Kek leafs think they've done any thing but take the crowns cock up their arse

come out of your room for once honey, come watch mommy take in some nice BBC

>Is it like this in other countries as well?
Yes. I had to school myself to learn more than the bare minimum spoon-fed by our education system. Leftists do not want Westerners to be proud of their history.

Same, I don't know what OP is on about

Because if they taught Canadian history Canadian children would remember their country was one founded by and for white people and realise that this country, their birthright, was being taken out from under them.

It's the same reason we ditched this flag, it has white Canadian history written all over it. You won't even find it in a textbook because of what folk memories it can evoke.

huh?

Ontario Flag != Red Ensign

And even the Ontario flag the Liberals are threatening to change

Close enough

And here I thought Arubans were autistic about flags

Because if people knew about history they wouldn't support a lot of stupid modern obsessions. Enjoy spending two years learning about the Indians though, goy

They did teach me some Canadian history in high school, but they made it boring as hell. They did nothing but get into the unimportant details. I also remember they had a lot of white guilt when it came to the Chinese immigrants who built the Railway.

I'll never understand how you went from this based flag to one that is one of, if not the outright worst in the world.

Stylistically it's not terrible, but he has no meaning (which was by design). The Liberal Party in the 60s didn't want Canada's flag to offend any of the thousands of immigrants that they were going to bring in within the next decade so they made the most meaningless piece of cloth they could muster.

We learned about residential schools and native culture. This country has a garbage educational system. Kids are as dumb as sticks.

I'm a current grade 12 high school student in Canada, AMA.

How's the white guilt these days? I graduated highschool a two years ago and it was bad then.

THE FRENCH TRAPPERS SLAYED A LOT OF BEAVER.

I'm Grad 2013. Those Chinese still annoying as always?

It's horrible. We had a Somalian rapper/"poet" to come recite some anti-racist poems to the whole school and then after everyone had to write anti-racist slogans on a poster. A day after my friend found out the "poet" was actually plagiarizing... And some kid wrote "niggers" on the poster, the principal went on the intercom on the verge of tears explaining his disappointment.

Filipinos, blacks and natives in this neck of the woods, only a handful of East Asians.

Canada is a nation that has no logical reason for existing.
It has no history, no culture, no identity of its own.
It's sucked British cock for 400 years and will continue to go down the losing path of history.

If you want to ever become relevant, you should hope that Trump annexes you

>Filipinos, blacks and natives

Must be Ontario.

>Sucked British cock for 400 years

More like 250. Get your facts you dumb nigger

I like the idea of a maple leaf as a national symbol, they just needed to keep something traditional on there. It would have been pretty based to quarter the Union Jack with 2 red squares and a white one with the leaf.

Your head of state is literally Queen Elizabeth, cuck.

Alberta

I always thought this was a nice version

History in general sucks except for the wars. Even then we don't get to learn anything fun about battles.

>muh suffrage
Gee whiz look how awesome that is now

She doesn't say what we can and can't do shit for brains, the Crown doesn't even have much power over Canada nowadays

How the hell did it get to that in the 4 years I graduated?

Americans are the most divisive posters on this board.

I don't know man. The curriculum in social studies has been manipulated to the point that you have to agree with the biased textbook on essays to get a good mark because "only evidence from the course can be used".

He didn't respond because he knew you won.

John A Macdonald is definitely my favourite prime minister by far.

In 1885, John A. Macdonald told the House of Commons that, if the Chinese were not excluded from Canada, “the Aryan character of the future of British America should be destroyed …” This was the precise moment in the histories of Canada and the British Dominions when Macdonald personally introduced race as a defining legal principle of the state…

Macdonald’s comments came as he justified an amendment taking the vote away from anyone “of Mongolian or Chinese race.” He warned that, if the Chinese (who had been in British Columbia as long as Europeans) were allowed to vote, “they might control the vote of that whole Province” and their “Chinese representatives” would foist “Asiatic principles,” “immoralities,” and “eccentricities” on the House “which are abhorrent to the Aryan race and Aryan principles.” He further claimed that “the Aryan races will not wholesomely amalgamate with the Africans or the Asiatics” and that “the cross of those races, like the cross of the dog and the fox, is not successful; it cannot be, and never will be.” For Macdonald, Canada was to be the country that restored a pure Aryan race to its past glory, and the Chinese threatened this purity.

>war of 1812
>watching the British regulars fight a war is "history"

You didn't?
In 10th grade we learned about the shocking graphic description of the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the timed bombardments used to capture Vimy Ridge, and even some heroic moments in WW2 like when a German Luftwaffe pilot escorted an almost destroyed B-17 to safety

I'm glad my school was too poor to afford new textbooks

>Canada didn't exist yet
>there was no distinction between British and Canadian at that point

any more stupid posts?

In manitoba we learned about louis riel and the general strike. Those are the only two things that have ever happened here anyway so it doesn't matter.

>there was no distinction between British and Canadian at that poin
Absolutely false.

>watching the British regulars fight a war is "history"

:^) like clock work you infest our threads with seeds of discord.

Here let's have an American tell us our own history.

I remember the teacher showing us pics of them.

>"GASP! Look at these poor Natives! Look at how the British made them were suits instead of feathers and sticks, HOW SHAMEFUL!"

>Here let's have an American tell us our own history.
If you knew it yourself, I wouldn't have to educate you.

>Americans in charge of education

>American "education"

please tell me more about how General Gordon Drummond from the war of 1812 wasn't a "real" Canadian

>average iq 80 country in charge of bantz

I'm on vacation, brah

He left Canada at age 8
fucking kek
>he War of 1812 was seen by Loyalists as a victory, as they had successfully defended their borders from an American takeover. The outcome gave Empire-oriented Canadians confidence and, together with the postwar "militia myth" that the civilian militia had been primarily responsible rather than the British regulars, was used to stimulate a new sense of Canadian nationalism.[197] John Strachan, the first Anglican bishop of Toronto, created the myth, telling his flock that Upper Canada had been saved from the dangerous republicanism of the American invaders by the heroism of the local citizenry.[198][199]

>I feel like Canada has some interesting history I was never told about.
actually it doesn't. even if you strip away the white guilt and SJW padding that passes for canadian history curricula these days, canadian history is still pretty fucking bland. it's a big part of why we lie to ourselves about our importance and lack a real national identity that's distinctly our own. it's also explains why canada is so thoroughly SJW today, it's all about filling that void.

t. historian

hows your vacation going

>born in Canada
>served in Canada for the British Army
>defended Niagra from the Yanks
>went on to be governor-general and serve a further 20 years in Canada

Born in Canada, served in Canada, had his post-war career in Canada, somehow not Canadian.

god you are a retard.

>Born in Canada, served in Canada, had his post-war career in Canada, somehow not Canadian.
Yes, you're missing an important ingredient: raised in Canada.

I was born in the UK, if I go back there today,I won't suddenly become British you fucking imbecile.
Moreover, the fact that more than half of the generals were from the UK already destroys your version of the events.

Really? I had no idea. I thought the DA MEAN OL WHITEY being the sum of all history was just an American thing.

It wasn't technically a country yet, but we were called Canada.

It was going great until I decided to browse Sup Forums, my own damn fault

I need to rent one of these

>average iq 81 country in charge of bantz

Yeah Canada did exist though, just not as a country. Kind of like how Puerto Rico is a territory.

It's all sob stories from the residential schools and any real history is just more sob stories about the French who we cucked so badly

It's weird though. Apparently some of the residential schools weren't bad, while others were.

It really depended on how far north you were sent.

half of the generals were from the UK because Canada and the UK were a united political entity and Canada was defended by the British Army. Obviously the majority of generals were British. The fact that Drummond was born in Canada, educated in the UK, and had his military career in Canada should just reinforce the fact that there was no distinction between "British" and "Canadian" at the time, we were all subjects of the British crown in a united empire. most Canadian colonists still considered themselves "British" which is why the Tory party was the main political party in Upper Canada. but sure, keep telling yourself how smart you are by losing arguments about people you hadn't even heard of before you went on wikipedia.

not really, there wasn't even a singular 'canada' at the time, rather a collection of territories that made up what was left of British North America. yeah, there was an Upper Canada and a Lower Canada as well as Newfoundland and other British possessions, but no one at the time really thought of themselves as 'Canadian'.

>mfw most war of 1812 battles were 40% Candian born troops
>mfw Chateauguay was 100% Canadian troops
>mfw America lost the war

People like you are the reason I hope canada gets nuked.I fucking hate all the smug,apathetic cunts in this country.

...

>>mfw most war of 1812 battles were 40% Candian born troops

yeah.. no. pic related. of the combatants only the 4000 militia are anything that could be called homegrown, lived and died here 'Canadian' and the Indians, but they were and still are technically a sovereign nation of their own. the rest are Britons that came and left.

>10,000 Provincial regulars

are you blind or just really stupid abdul?

those are British garrison troops that rotated in and out of a variety of British colonies around the world, including British North America. they do tours and deploy elsewhere, you mong.

Actually, no. Those are Fencible regiments that were raised in the colonies to defend their respective lands. If what you are saying is true, why would there be any difference between British Army regulars and Provincial regulars in this chart? Don't the British Army regulars serve that same purpose?

Nice try shitskin, better read a book next time.

>we lie to ourselves about our importance and lack a real national identity
this

Things got interesting when America had a civil war and bunch of refugees crossed the border and never left.

That's gold. You poor bastards.

Not much interesting shit to tell honestly.
we became a """"""""""country"""""""" in 1867.
Chinks built a fucking railroad across the entire goddamn country and they're still here to this day/
Some metis filth led a rebellion now we have manitoba.

The good shit starts in the twentieth century when we showed the world what exactly the fuck we're made of in the two world wars. Then it all goes down hill again because unless shits hitting the fucking fan we're a pretty boring country.

>Those are Fencible regiments that were raised in the colonies to defend their respective lands
those are militia

>If what you are saying is true, why would there be any difference between British Army regulars and Provincial regulars in this chart? Don't the British Army regulars serve that same purpose?
Provincial regulars are garrisoned in British North America to protect the colony, they are typically rotated to the Caribbean, Africa, Asia or back home once their tour is done. British Army regulars are the reinforcements, the ones that were brought in specifically to fight the War of 1812. both fall under the category of "British Army".

you should probably know what you're talking about before getting so salty and assmad. do you understand now?

>tfw learning Canadian history for 3 years in public schooling system and all it's about is the fur trade

It's the same here. Fascinating country but they refuse to teach about it unless its a bias education on Maori history, which is legend or otherwise only documented by Europeans.

That pic is disturbing as fuck

is that a cuntlip on his hairline

Why, did he get killed?

We did, and we had done so for a long time before the British invaded. Then when Anglos decided they shouldn't be British anymore, they stole our name (everything supposedly from their culture is stolen from us anyway) and we became French Canadians

>be leaf
>"social" studies
>fur trade, canada is great, HATS HATS HATS
>how bout those natives
>teacher doesn't know when WW2 was. oh well LOL
>the country Russia has been cut from the curriculum

11th grade is the only good year of that shit, at least where I live.
>Government
>WW1
>the 20s
>The depression
>WW2
>the cold war

Most of it is actually pretty interesting, and refreshing after years of hearing about whiny natives and how much stupid chinks suffered when they chose to come over here and build us a fucking railroad.

>And some kid wrote "niggers" on the poster, the principal went on the intercom on the verge of tears explaining his disappointment.

Holy shit, I'm dying.

Except Fencibles aren't militia, they are literally regulars. But don't worry, I wouldn't expect a shitskin to be able to comprehend something as complex as this, nonetheless one that is just learning the language.

What? Did they change it?

When I was in high school 15 years ago we basically just learned Canadian history, plus some 20th century world history as it related to Canada. There was also a specific world history class which was an elective.

It wasn't until I took a politics class (which literally had no curriculum, so our teacher, being a history teacher, taught us world history and politics) in Grade 12 that I had a history class that had nothing to do with Canada.

Actually, now that I think about it, my Grade 5 teacher did teach us some history of the Middle Ages and Japan, but in retrospect I suspect he was kind of a weeaboo. Still, it's more interesting than learning about Jacques Cartier and Confederation for the 10th time.

I'm wondering now if OP is lying, because there was not even an ounce of "DA MEAN OL WHITEY". But perhaps things have changed in the past 15 years or so.

At first I thought it was a euro poster, and I'd completely respect that, because Europeans have a bigger history than North America.

But then I realized that you have an American flag. Listen up, bub; I have a couple things to tell ye. I'm from a small island on the east coast; before it was first colonized, it was inhabited by the native people until the French arrived; they built stone fortresses, farms, wharves, etc. The British arrived and drove them out and conquered the land, tearing down the many forts and villages. My ancestors on my fathers side came from Scotland and settled down with my ancestors who bore the name of my mother's family. One of my ancestors was a french woman who married back onto the island; and one of my ancestors was a native who married into the family to stay on the island that they had lived in for thousands of years.
I'm just one fisherman on one small island on the east coast; I talk with a uniquely rare accent, and it fools a lot of people, because I've also lived in the states for 5 years, and I quit highschool to work with my father. There is no "Canadian" history as far as Canada is concerned; but there IS history here, where I live, and that's part of Canada, one of the oldest parts of Canada that is being ignored by your stupid post. So kindly fuck off.
