Living in the US for no matter how long, I still feel like a foreigner. lol There truly is no place like home. It’s always wonderful to read the history of my homeland.

After reading this, I guess Canada was caught in the middle between two world powers. I got the impression that maybe before the US Civil War that Canada could have fought for Independence. It sure would have been interesting if Canada and the US fought against England before then, but then I remember that the US was involved in the Mexican War in 1848. How about between 1812 and 1845? We will never know. or between 1875 (reconstruction) and WWI? That would have been militarily difficult. Man Canada was between a rock and a hard place but I guess it all worked out in the end. :) Thanks for the link. After reading this, I guess Canada was caught in the middle between two world powers.

Like the US, Canada began to be explored and settled in the 1600's by two main European groups, the French and English. People were busy looking for the Northwest passage too. Here is a history of Canada you might want to browse through. http://www.linksnorth.com/canada-history/ The short answer DH is yes and no.

We all can brag about something. I also know that the relationship between Canada and and the UK has been a positive one so I guess you received "your reward" in 1982. You sparked my interest in Canadian history. One question: Has the relationship between Canada and the UK always been as positive or has the relationship between your country and the UK been strenuous at times over the past 225 years? I'm very curious and anxiously await your response. I want to learn something today.

We achieved our 'freedom' the way of negotiation. :) Though ... we no longer hold any allegiance to the Queen. I mean, with 11 sultans in our country alone, we have enough sovereigns!
