Other than the Vikings, the first European to lay claim to a part of what is now Canada was when the Italian explorer John Cabot explored and claimed Canada's Atlantic coast in the name of King Henry VII of England.
The founder of Britain was the Trojan exile Brutus of Troy, who was said to be the descendant of the Trojan hero, Aeneas. Brutus was the first King of Britain.
You cant even get Geography right... Your done son.
Lol he just got doubled son'd...
I said the West Coast and never mentioned anything about a colony Spanish got there first. A Greek Captain Ioannis Phokas aka Juan de Fuca then Galiano charted it.
Who cares? Canada was never a Greek colony either, so it's not important. And thank your lucky stars you were never a Greek colony, otherwise you'd now be eating sheep's head, sea urchin salad and fried octopus ink sack, smashing plates, riding everywhere on donkeys and speaking a language that looks like somebody's been testing out a new pen.

Yes, lifespans of 40 years were common, as was starvation and internecine warfare and genocide between different native groups. They'd be the same today were it not for the arrival of Europeans.
It's not really a case of who got there first. It's more a case of who founded Canada. And that was the British. They founded America, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, modern India, Zimbabwe and other countries, too. These are a lot of countries that owe their very existence to the British Empire.
Slavery has been a normal part of life for many millennia all around the world and it's still happening today.
