Canadians: A few historical questions [View All]

[mandyky]

I know the Canadians gave refuge to Indian tribes and I know some of our Confederates would go to Canada for support.

Did you all have slavery? Did it become a problem like here? How about segregation and the need for civil rights?

In the early years did the Canadians treat Native Americans poorly? Or was that the Brits?

Where did Canada stand on WWII?

Your independence day is around our Thanksgiving (Nov), correct?
What year? Is Canada completely separate of UK? Did that happen gradually?

Any other important timeline items in Canadian history you might want to share?
