‘Treaties and agreements formed as a consequence of the war [of 1812] enabled Confederation and the formation of Canada to occur.’
‘The Battle of Vimy Ridge should be what is known as the true origin of Canadian identity’
‘[I]t was the first event that unified the diverse people of Canada, and eventually became the catalyst for autonomy from Britain.’
‘1812 sparked the idea of Canada, Confederation allowed Canada to progress and flourish, while […] Vimy emerged Canada into the world.’
‘This conflict best defines the true origin of Canada through its confirmation of the early nation’s existence’
‘[Confederation] served as a peaceful metaphor for Canadians to model themselves after for generations to come.’
