The October Crisis and Quebec Sovereignty in video

Interesting post Machjo. A quaint trip down memory lane as it were.
Sadly though. That last video, was a product of the same historical insight that permeates or school system. At worst, complete shyte, at best a monumental error in fact. A sad reality I have faced and paid for personally since High School.
Sadly, the average Canadians historical knowledge is infested by one sided thinking and vengeance du le berceau.

Is that "special" as in having to wear a hockey helmet, have a cork on your fork, and take the little bus to school?
Thanks for sharing that.
I know for a fact that the education I, along with most Canadians, received was Eurocentric at best. I would be interested in any views you can share about some of the false, or at least biassed, teachings in our history lessons from an indigenous perspective.
First off, it's Haudenosaunee, not Iroquois, the latter is a derogatory slur. There were many reasons the Haudenosaunee broke the Great Peace Treaty of 1701. The least of which was that we were "savages".
The Huron and the French allied to each other, while expecting the Haudenosaunee to remain neutral as the they took more and more land for fur trading.
This was compounded by assassinations and overt pressures from the warring Empires to pick a side.
The Great Peace Treaty, was nothing more then a stop gap measure to let the Francais recoupe, regroup and behin their expansion into our territory, with the aid and pleasure of the Wendat/Huron.
No problem, if you wish, we could start a thread on the topic and I can share as much as I know.
Only one faction broke ranks and allied themselves to the Francais.
Considering the meddling and negative outside influences of the Imperial powers at odds with one another. I think that's a pretty decent outcome.
Here it is, Care Bear:
