It's on the list of new forums to add, for sure... We just have to be cautious of how quickly we add new forums. Reason being is people are scared off of they see a lot of empty forums.
Keep an eye out, a new history forum should open up soon!

I'm all for it. Maybe some of our history threads
such as the Hiroshima thread could be moved in there.

I agree that a specific Canadian History thread would be interesting.

I'd like to see more info on the War of 1812
and the French and Indian War. There's some
interesting stuff there between Canada and The States.
Also even some of the new history on Nunavaat.
Listening some 7 (?) years ago on Short Wave to CBC when the indians met on Baffin Island discussing whether the women
would have the right to vote was interesting.

Sure would be....I have been doing some historical reading on the net, and may be inclined to post some of it, if there is interest.

If so, I will do it tonight after everyone beds down for the night.

I would, you could also move the Truman Trial over there since it is relevant to history, that's your call of course.

It seems to me Canadians are defined by their outstanding lack of "Canadian: culture! We don't seem to have the necessary American arrogance or the British History to make the quantum leap.

But history in itself is pretty interesting...

I wouldn't leave the British out of the arrogance field....

If you add a history section I will post for sure.
I'd even moderate it.... oh wait that smacks of effort... well I'd post anyhow

Sorry one thing...
Can you make the history forum a general history forum. So as not to limit it.

Ta - daaaaaa! There's your History topic, buffs! Dig in! Sorry it took so long!
PS ... if anyone sees any threads that belong there, let me know! And if I've moved any that don't belong, ditto. I'm no history buff!

I was wondering if a forum on US/Canadian Relations would be something the board might consider.

Why...you don't take enough abuse from Canadians? You want an entire thread dedicated to it? :P

There's probably not going to be a new forum up for a while now. The issue is that topics right now are a little too widely spread around. Let's get the forum bopping with new topics in (Off-Topic) before we start moving them again... we already have to attract members to new forums so the place doesn't look empty.
Empty forums scare people away, atleast I get scared away from forums with little activity.
