As part of our 150th Celebrations, The History Channel is airing a three part documentary called A World Without Canada. Made by the same people who gave us the excellent Life Without People, it's narrated by Dan Ackroyd. First episode airs May 31.

What would a world without Canada be like?

- Ebola would be a global epidemic by now.

- Kim Il Sung and his Korean Red Army would have taken the entire Korean Peninsula before General McArthur was ready to counter-attack.

Methink the world would have been just fine without Canada.
 
Does anyone in the world actually give a shit about these kind of questions, except Canadians?

No, and neither do most canadians
 
As an amateur student of human history, I am amazed at how some small countries have hugely impacted the world.

The best example is probably England. Other examples, are Alexander's Macedonia, Rome, Islamic Arabia, etc.

Canada was, is and probably will always be a peaceful middle power so we will never have the impact of a conquering power like Mongolia.

It would be great, because USA would have won the war of 1812. And we would had became USA or maybe United State of Canada. Ebola would have been wipe out. Because UNited State of Canada would have found the cure by the way. Defintely no terb!!
 
Without Canada, there would be a lot less beaver. [/double_entendre]

It's reached the point where "Canadian value" is whatever you want it to be.

That is the same in every country, and always has been. Every individual has their own idea of values. What is required in a decent country is a populace that is educated and informed, and ensures that only worthwhile values are protected by legislation.
 
I see from the premise that they are linking a world without Canada, to a world without things that Canadians did. I think they totally missed the boat, that people who were born here or became Canadians wouldn't still contribute as a person of another nationality and that the things that Canadians contributed wouldn't be thought of and made without an actual Canadian to do so is ridiculous.
 
Sorry to say, but Canadians have an inferiority complex when it comes to the US and the rest of the world
