History of Canada

Giving this a bumpu. The story in the OP image paints the French Canadiens as being unjustly oppressed by anglos throughout their history to this present day and has scarcely a bad word to say about them. It's a great story and I love an underdog, but I'm curious if this is the full picture or if liberties have been taken with this narrative to support a certain bias.

If you're looking for an unbiased view, a 4chan screencap is not the way to go.

Like most of the stuff on this site, it's a list of somewhat unrelated or very tenuously related grievances, strung together to make a coherent narrative. When you get sentences like "anglo owned business would try to harm Quebec by withdrawing", you know you're in for a wild ride of logic.

Anyway, the answer is "it's a cause people can use to get elected, so it will never die."

If you're looking for a pretty good textbook I'd consider anything by Bumsted, probably The Peoples of Canada.

A CBC documentary entitled Canada: A People's History is quite good as well.

Canadian history tends to be broken up into sections such as Quebec, the Prairies, Maritime Provinces etc...

Today, Canadian history departments have an absolute fetish for anything on Injuns, whether it's treaties, reconciliation, or anything that tends to say whitey was bad and I am no exaggerating.

Do you think it would be redundant to read both the two Bumsted books and watch the documentary series? My preference is usually to reading, though both look interesting. Thank you for your recommendations by the way.
