In the course of History 30: Canadian Studies, we will be examining the history of Canada along a chronological timeline. Beginning with the migration and population theories, European exploration, colonial conflicts, pre-confederation, post-confederation, and finishing with the examination of contemporary issues, national and international, that change and transform the physical, political, and social landscape of Canada. During the entire course we will be examining certain aspects of our national identity in regards to how we see ourselves, and how we are perceived from the rest of the world.
