Exactly growing up I found history fascinating but confusing. None of it really made sense like how everything came together. Now I’m 35 and I recently found a book called lies My teacher told me. It’s really eye opening.
Like George Washington hiring slave bounty hunters to arrest his female slave housemaid. American Revolution wasn't about the Boston Tea Party Tarriff it was about the USA not getting rid of slavery and didn't for another 100 years. The British Commonwealth got rid of slavery 30+ years prior to war.
Remembering the good, the bad and the worst times.through our culture of remembrance,we want to prevent National Socialism in Germany once again,the victims remember and preserve their memory.We remember good, special and extraordinary people, events and times.🤔🔎
Amerikkka is a Nazi’s paradise why do you think they all fled here after the war they got cozy jobs building rockets for us and putting their medical knowledge to use for the benefit of those that are worthy enough for it💀💯
Same goes for Canada. Read Tyler Shipley’s Canada in the World, and be surprised at all the things you will learn about Canadian history. (In US, read A People’s history of the United States.)
There is a culture of arrogance rotting through that nation, a nation that knows nothing of the world or their own country and yet present themselves as experts. Self declared blind leading the blind. It's decadent, lazy, stupid. The American way. That's why Trump is in the top job. Twice.
So what does it mean for Canadian polls showing an almost dead heat for PM? I'm on the Prairies, so I have my finger on the pulse of white conservative Canada. You're not as progressive as you think.
Humility, compassion, empathy, and quiet observation are replaced by competition, individualism, materialism, and consumerism. A nation of narcissists, ruled by a narcissist. It wasn't always this way. Their true history might be the only thing left that will save them. But I lost hope in 2001.
My history education in Ontario was quite robust. I went on to study it as a joint honours BA at McGill. My kids' education in French instruction in Ontario is absolutely shit by comparison. I'm not a fan of Ford! We need change here too. Lest we follow the same path as down South.
In both countries. You rarely hear anything about the atrocities committed against the first nations people here. Even the recent ones involving the kids, past and present.

In my Canadian High school, 'history' was covering a bit of the Canadian involvement in WW1...and that was pretty much it.
Everything I've learned about history since then I've learned on my own.
History is taught but then re-taught via Fox-Primetime.
