Please excuse my ignorance of Canadian History in general. Probably I was mainly thinking of the fact that Canada usually does NOT appear in the world news. As far as I can remember, of course.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
