About this user
I'm Canadian/Irish and proud of it. I made this channel as a tribute to the two best countries in the world, Canada and Ireland (Eire).
Both of these countries have things in common that make them great. They both have Good people, Beautiful landscapes, Unique cultures, Good history, Good heritage, Good healthcare, Democracy, Freedom, Well trained/skilled armies. The list goes on.
Brief history of Canada:
The earliest inhabitants of this vast land were prehistoric tribes from Asia who traveled across the Bering Strait and settled here. Barring the odd Viking visit, which did not last long, the aboriginal people lived freely and developed their customs, languages and traditions until the 15th century. In 1534, Jacques Cartier made the first claim for France and Samuel de Champlain founded Québec City in the early 1600s. By the mid 16th century, Canada was declared a French province. The British entered the picture in 1670 and the hostilities between the two colonizers eventually led to the Treaty of Paris in 1763 when France handed Canada over to Britain. The two cultures within Canada continued to fight until the growing strength of the US necessitated a more united front. In 1867 the British North American Act (BNA Act) gave birth to modern, self-governing Canada.
Brief history of Ireland:
Celts arrived in Ireland somewhere around 300 BC and ruled the country for next 1000 years, leaving behind marks of their art and culture which can be found even today. Christianity came to Ireland only around the 3rd and 5th centuries. The Vikings ruled from the 8th century onwards until it became a part of the English kingdom in 1169. A long struggle for independence ensued until in 1922, after the Irish War of Independence, the southern twenty-six counties of Ireland parted from the United Kingdom (UK) to become the independent Irish Free State, and after 1948, the Republic of Ireland. Six counties in the north east known as Northern Ireland remained part of the UK but instability in the North began to reveal itself in the 1960s. For many years, there was violent conflict between those campaigning for a united Ireland and those wishing to stay in the United Kingdom. Irish governments have sought the peaceful reunification of Ireland.
