Who at the CBC writes, directs, and produces this nonsense?
11 April 2017
Any series about Canadian history that identifies the War of 1812 as "Canada's War of Independence" does not know much about history. Who did Canadians become independent from? The invaders from the United States, who were defeated, (and their capital burned in 1814)? Wasn't Canada, (or, the several colonies, of British North America, including Upper Canada and Lower Canada), still comprised of a few British colonies, after the Treaty of Ghent? Not until the Statute of Westminster, in 1931, did the Dominion of Canada achieve independence as a nation, (no longer a British colony); and, the Canada Act, in 1982, made Canada entirely independent of the British Parliament, (full legal sovereignty, including constitutional legislation). Whoever wrote, directed, and produced this series probably flunked their Canadian history tests.

I'm not wasting a minute watching this series. Real Canadians are not interested in this "alt-history"!
