If the Canadian school system ignores US history, while including other countries that is just ignorant. I have always believed Canadians to be well-educated people and, in fact, I find that most Canadians know more about the US than we know about them.
YOur statement is just shocking--how short-sighted.
+1 I live in Ontario and am in highschool, I took history last year so I'm fresh out of it. In grade 10 we have a mandatory history course called "Canadian History", and yes, we talk about the US AND Europe almost as much as Canada. Now in grade 11 we have a course called "American History", I havn't taken it, but as you may be able to tell, it's about the US.
