Thanks, we've officially been an independent country and not a British colony since 1867, we didn't need a war to separate from Britain like the Americans, we just waited them out, winters are long here, Canadians are a patient people.

Who lived there before?

Mostly Hurons and Iroquois at least in central and eastern Canada. Canada is actually a Huron word for 'village' so in the 1500's when Jacques Cartier the French explorer asked the native chief where they were the Chief responded CANADA or we're in the Village and Canada it remained from then on.

LOL... That and the cold. It probably preserves the country the way my fridge preserves those three day old leftovers l am having for lunch.
