Thank you so much for this course. Also thanks to Dan Levy for suggesting it. The course and weekly chats helped educate me in Canada's true history, information that I should have received in school.

What a great overview -- I wonder why this course is not a part of all middle or high school curriculum across Canada. It is now my responsibility to learn more.
