Thank you so much for this course. Also thanks to Dan Levy for suggesting it. The course and weekly chats helped educate me in Canada's true history, information that I should have received in school.

Excellent course
I am horrified to think I "completed" my education without ever learning the information presented in this course.

Some content was challenging to go through, which is as it should be. This kind of content about our history needs to be a part of Primary School education.

The course was excellent! However, the transcriptions with the videos need to be looked at as there are many incorrect AI interpretations of speakers' words.
