| I apologize ahead if there is already a thread of this topic. But I´ve read several articles about Canada´s history like it became the Dominion of Canada in 1867 and recently celebrated 144 years of existence but it was not a self ruled until 1931 and it didn´t have a Flag to call its own until 1965... |

| Canada is America´s younger brother its true. We were both British colonies and despite a lot of differences we have similarities due to the British colonial era.

| I know we´ve had 44 presidents since our inception in 1776. I know we had a civil war in the 1860´s. I´ve also learned that Canada had a few PM´s who were born outside the country. But I´m ignorant about a lot of things. |
