Military occupation doesnt mean ethnic cleansing....
Not that it's never happened... but its not an absolute
And before Canada was a country, thats what it was.. military occupation of a certain piece of land... When Canada formed the english/french populations werent as skewed as they are today... and i would argue that the numbers were probably much closer to 50-50 (french decent-english decent)
If the country's founding fathers could get along with less hostility, why is it so hard today.... beneath it all, we are all canadian... end of the line
tell that to the french!!! but that's not really fair. tell it to the separatists, as they are the ones making all the noise about it
