- Welcome to Australian Reacts, where an Australian reacts to all types of videos from around the world! In this video we check out 'Canada Heritage Minutes!'' and I see how they measure up against real knowledge from a local of "the land down-under". Overall we get to see a glimpse of what this incredible country has to offer and have some laughs along the way!

If you’re a Canadian of a certain age, whenever you smelled burnt toast you definitely ask others around you “do you smell burnt toast?” and just hope they do and it’s not just you Lol
I'm Canadian, 35 years old, and never heard of this
@@RichardHartl You’re a few years too young. You would’ve been about 3 or 4 when they started airing.
Lol I still remember that and think is it toast or a seizure? Please let it be burnt toast. Hehe
@@petegtorcan I remember it snd i am 35
@@RichardHartl seriously? It was a meme before memes was a thing
The War of 1812 was very important in Canadian history, but is largely forgotten by Americans. American forces invaded Canada at several locations, and they succeeded in temporarily capturing the town of York (which later became Toronto), burning much of it to the ground. But most of the American commanders were not very competent. There were only a handful of British officers and professional soldiers posted in Canada, so the defence was largely by local civilian militias and Mohawk and Ojibway First Nations. The British commander, Isaac Brock, was a competent leader, successfully capturing Detroit, but he was killed at the Battle of Queenston Heights. It was the Mohawk and Ojibway forces that in the end prevented Canada from falling to the Americans. Laura Secord became a folkloric heroine, since by going through enemy lines to warn of a planned American attack, she helped tip the balance. Since she was thought (in legend) to have disguised herself as a milk maid leading a cow, her name became associated with dairy products. "Laura Secord" became the brand name of a large chain of chocolate and ice cream stores in Canada. The historian Pierre Berton wrote a history of the war in which his premise was that it was critical in creating the idea of Canadians as a nation, instead of a random bunch of people in British colonies. There is some truth to this.
I find it curious that our Nation was born from Diplomacy but our National Identity was born from War. Also curious that we tend to think of ourselves an a nation of peacekeepers, but we are equally a nation of peacemakers.
And I love her chocolates as well. They are so good. Someone has to mail this guy a box of them lol.
Ya it is funny, we are peace makers, but pound for pound have the best soldiers in the world!
@@gillianclarke7110 we did. That is WHY it is called The White House.
Let's not forget the King of Engand made a deal with the 1st Nations people to defend British territorty . They held up their part, then when the King died the new one wouldn'r honour the deal & screwed them out of the land promised. These land claim are still going on today & regularly included occupation protests of this land.
Laura Secord’s father fought on the Royalist side in the American Revolution. After the war he was granted land across the Niagara River in Canada and moved there as a United Empire Loyalist. After an attempted invasion by American forces was stopped a few weeks earlier at the Battle of Stoney Creek (that took place a few hundred feet from my current home) the American troops were confined to Fort George and the Niagara-on-the-Lake area. The Secord home was commandeered as a billet for American Officers and she probably heard them talking about the planned attack that became known as the Battle of Beaver Dams. She walked 20 miles through bush and swamp in the dark night to warn the British forces. When the American forces finally abandoned the area and crossed back across the river early the next year they burned the town of Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake) leaving hundreds of people homeless in a Canadian winter. It’s said that the attack on Washington and burning of the Whitehouse was largely retribution for this event.
The "burnt toast" episode is about epilepsy, not stroke. Basically one part of the brain becomes extremely active and disrupts the function of the rest, causing a seizure. In this patient's case that portion of the brain processed the sensation of smelling burnt toast, which made it possible to identify it.
I am from Sask Canada and I love seeing someone from another country learning about our history, keep it up dude!
There are 96 episodes of 'Heritage Minutes' each obviously 1-minute long mini documentaries of famous Canadian citizens. They were produced in 1991 in both official languages, english and french. They are based on historical records and are factual with a little creative license added for drama. Each episode is crafted to pique the viewers interest and to encourage them to research and learn more detail.
Cheers from snowy Selkirk mountains in BC Canada ... (just had 30 cm or 12 inches of snow).
They started making them again in 2005 and they are still going. most recently releases were 2021
They didn't start til 91? I remember seeing them much earlier than that.
The American army invaded Canada. She overheard some of their officers, who were occupying her house, planning an attack on Canadian/British troops. She carried the information to Lieutenant Fitzgibbon, commanding some of the British Troops. A force of British Troops and Mohawk warriors defeated the Americans.
Been enjoying the videos. I doubt it's a heritage minute but look up "Leo Major" or "The one-eyed scout who liberated a town". In my opinion the most legendary canadian soldier. If you're on the heritage minutes though and haven't hit it, the Irish orphans is pretty good.
Not just Canadian. Most legendary soldier, period.
Leo Major is the only French Canadian soldier to have been awarded 2 distinguished service medal in history, and he turned down the first one, because he did not recognize the Brigadier-General (who was a British soldier) to be worthy
@@johnvermette9466 It wasn't a brigadier general, it was Field Marshall Montgomery.
@@johnvermette9466 It was Monty he didn't like and a lot of Canadian soldiers agreed with him.
@@johnvermette9466 I was taught that he was the only Canadian period to have received a DCM in two different wars.
He had previously declined to be decorated with a first DCM (would have been his 1st of 3) because according to him General Montgomery (who was to present him with the award) was "incompetent" and in no position to be giving out medals.
Many epileptics have an “aura” just prior to going into a full blown seizure. Auras can be a particular smell ( as the lady smelling burnt toast). It can be an unusual sound, strange disturbing light display, sudden headache, sudden nausea etc. It actually provides a warning to the person, and actually if time they can place themselves in a safe position e.g. lying on their side. What is really marvellous is there are companion dogs that can sense a person’s oncoming aura’s and warn them ahead of time. All thanks to Dr. Penfield.
My sister in law has a service dog who warns her a seizure is coming. Saved her many times.
Back in 1813 Canada was still part of England and didn't yet have all the current territory we have today. Upper Canada was the original (lower) part of Ontario around the current area of Toronto. Lower Canada was the beginnings of the Province of Quebec shortly after France ceded the area to the English
Check out John McRae, Valour Road, Vimy Ridge, Les Voltigeurs Du Quèbec, Underground Railroad, Jackie Robinson, Maurice "Rocket Richard", Jacques Plante.
Upper canada (Ontario)was actually in the south, while lower Canada (Quebec) was further north.... the upper and lower was not about latitude, it was based on the st. Lawrence river, upper Canada was upper part of the river, while.lower canada was the end or lower part of the river
Which always confused me to no end in grade school. I was fairly good at geography, I can pick out most of the states, of course all of the provinces and territories and the general vicinity of most of the countries on the globe but damn Upper and Lower Canada just never made sense to me. lol
@@jcee8493 same lol
The War of 1812 was important in building Canada, especially the mythology that a militia farmers staved off invasion from the USA. "Our brave fathers, side by side, for freedom's home and loved ones dear, bravely stood and nobly died. For the rights that they maintained we vow to yield them never, and our watchword ever-more shall be - the maple leaf forever"
You have to react to Leo Major, there's so many videos on CZcams about him: The One-Eyed Scout Who Liberated a Whole Town by Himself.
Yeah, every one of these stories is true.
Laura Secord is now the name of a chocolate company. The conflict was the War of 1812.
1965 is when we switch from the Canadian Red Ensign (@7:07) to The Maple Leaf.
You need to check out the story of Leo Major, a Canadian soldier in WW2, czcams.com/video/eFf1UfVa8Lc/video.html
You can also visit her homestead in Niagara-On-The-Lake. Great lady who really did turn the tide of the war
@@MuslimInAbby
Yeah, I know.
@@MuslimInAbby I did not know but do now. Thank-you.
Canadian kids in the 90s, am I having a seizure or are my toasts burning?
it literally says the MP's name at the end of the video his name was John Matheson 7:44 and yes... all the flags shown were submissions
“I smell Burt toast” is ingrained in a lot of our minds. It’s almost like ptsd.
growing up "I smell burnt toast" was a running gag. this aired on TV pretty regularly
The smell of burnt toast is related to seizures not strokes.
Really love that you’re reacting to these, so much nostalgia!
1849 Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman in the US to get a medical degree. it was a similar experience of discrimination and small mindedness
Laura Secord- American troops were billeted at her home and she overheard their plans. She walked about 32 kms (20 miles) to warn FitzGibbon.
Walking 20 miles might not seem like a lot to some people but you have to consider that Laura was walking through a war zone over rough terrain, was wearing a long skirt, probably a corset and definitely wasn't wearing Nikes and she had to do it in a short time period so the British would be ready for the attack.
She wasn't given any credit until very late in her life.
Upper Canada = Ontario
Lower Canada = Québec
Canada at the time was situated primarily along the st Laurence river.
Ontario was “up river” which was actually further south than lower Canada.
Still remember getting that wrong on my grade 5 history test
Every Canadian when they smell toast burning says "Dr. Penfield I smell burnt toast" then asks if anyone else smells it.
I'd forgotten about Laura Secord. It's also a brand of chocolates in Canada, so that's what I thought of when I heard the name.
Please watch the "Nellie McClung" and the "Winnie" videos. Two of my favourites growing up.
Woman slogged two days through wilderness and damn near saved the country, and all he got was her face slapped on some chocolate 😂
OJB when you watch these 'minutes' you should accept the information presented as fundamentally accurate. Many of your comments on this & earlier videos suggest you have a tendency to assume otherwise. For instance with the flag designs you wondered if the video producers just made up designs. No those were the actual designs the parliamentary committee debated. Likewise the tools the Dr. Penfield actor was shown using are representative of the what the Doctor used in his groundbreaking neurological research. Although the 'minutes' are dramatised, they very much have a factual basis and were not just thrown together willy-nilly. With only a minute to briefly tell a historically significant event they tend to be very accurate in what information they do convey. They were created to spark interest in learning more about significant events. Thanks for reacting to them as they are stories worthy of being shared.
John Matheson, the flag guy, was from my hometown, near Ottawa. Amazingly, he had been struck on the top of the head by shrapnel while fighting in Italy in World War II, and his legs were paralyzed -- he walked with two canes for the rest of his life. That didn't stop him from being an MP and a judge and from bringing the Maple Leaf flag to official status. He was a gentleman of the old school.
That last one has become sort of an inside joke for us whenever we have some kind of brain thing, headache, brain-fart, forgetfulness...etc. "Dr Penfield I smell burnt toast"
Laura Secord is well known in Canada for her role in the war between (what was then Canada and the United States ) and as a brand of chocolates. Most malls had a Laura Secords that sold ice cream and chocolates. They’re very good products…delicious!
Having watched all these heritage moments when I was younger, whenever toast is burning in our house, I have to proclaim in that accent “Toast is buurrning.” Lol
Oh, I remember these! Glad to see an Aussie enjoying them!
Thanks for these! I remember seeing all of these, back in the day and enjoyed seeing them again!!
I only met John Matheson once, and it wasn't much of a meeting. My brother was friends with him, and he was driving JM to an important meeting, but he had an errand to do, and so he had me sit in the car with JM to keep the elderly man company. It was a very awkward meeting, because we were strangers, and I didn't have much to say.
Sadly, my niece did an interview with him on video for school, but the video was lost. If we still had it, it would certainly be up on my channel, but alas, it is gone.
every country has their own history and interesting moments throughout, many are unknown by the vast populations of their country (there is only so much you can teach)... i always loved them and not surprisingly learned a great deal about our unknown history
what older canadian doesn't joke about burning toast when they have a moment lol
Heritage minutes are all based on actual historical Canadian moments. In Canada up until the 1990's heritage minutes were played as commercials.
Ok I love your comment Northern Canada when he says Upper Canada. Don't worry it's a common enough mistake. Upper Canada was what is now Ontario and Lower Canada was what became Quebec, and they're so named because Ontario is higher in elevation that Quebec, kind of like the Scottish highlands and lowlands.
this was the war of 1812 , and started while britain was busy fighting napolean, the americans tried to grab the whole continent
Guess what? They still want the whole continent.
As soon as I heard the name Laura Secord, the jingle came to mind...Laura Secord, what a reward. Who makes anything better?
Laura Secord, that is an interesting Heritage Minutes clip. She traveled 20kms, through the bush. Most people dont know about the War of 1812, even though it was a war that changed many things between Canada and the U.S that is still affecting us to this day. When people here the term Canadas as in Upper Canada and Lower Canada, they get confused. The areas were considered two separated British colonies. It wasn't until 1840 when the two were combined to be called the Province of Canada. Those were the times in Canadian history that started the creation of provinces in Canada and none of that would have happened if there was no American War of Independence. British Loyalist that fought for the British that lived in America at the time of Independence moved to the colony of Upper Canada, and they brought with them the ideas of "Responsible Government" and representation. It was a very important time in Canadian history, it was the beginning of a Dominion of Canada.
Upper Canada is NOT "North Canada." Upper and Lower Canada refer loosely to what we now call Ontario and Quebec, which are beside each other. "Upper. Canada" referred to the part of Canada that was farther up the St. Lawrence River. And the story takes place in 1813. There was no Canadian confederation until 1867.
You should look up more videos on the War of 1812 if you are interested in early Canadian History. I could go on all day about this war as it is a personal interest of mine.
There were two regions of Canada then … (Upper Canada was primarily English speaking and Lower Canada, because of its location lower in the physical sense) and ultimately became the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, where I live.
Laura Secord's husband ras a well known business on their property which is very close to the Canadian/American border. Laura's husband was injured during the war and was away from home recovering. During the war of 1812 American soldiers would force Canadian's to host them. Because it was only Laura, a woman, and her young children at home the American soldiers felt comfortable discussing their battle plans after dinner because they underestimated a woman's (Laura) capabilities. Also of note: During the war of 1812 (1812-1814) what is now Canada was still a British colony. The Canadian provinces and later territories would not start to become a country until 1867.
Burnt toast smell was her epileptic warning
To official acceptance of a flag is called "The First Raising of the Flag." Prior to the Maple Leaf, the Canadian Flag was the Red Ensign.
The flag debate in the early 1960s was a very real thing. Until 1965, the Red Ensign was the official Canadian flag (Union Jack in the upper left corner, the Canadian Coat of Arms in the lower right on a red background - imagine the Australian flag in red w/ the Southern Cross replaced with a coat of arms) and many traditionalists wanted to keep it. The debate was heated all the designs in the video were real. The current flag was officially proclaimed in Feb. 1965. Several provinces, including Ontario, still use a variation of the Red Ensign as their provincial flag.
I honestly still love the red ensign, then the Pearson Pennet. I like showing we have French and English up here.
I can’t count how many Americans who were told by Canadians that red on our flag represents blood. WHAT? Needless to say they learned quickly that our flag has never seen blood on it. Great information on the final choices of our flag by our government. Just google it.
If you want to see some good Canadian TV comedy, you should do a reaction video to Rick Mercer's Talking To Americans. He would travel into the US and interview Americans, testing them to see how little they knew about Canada. Several clips on CZcams. A sample
czcams.com/video/SHUWas-yQSw/video.html
OMG Yes! He has to!
These were all bite sized vignettes shown during commercial breaks on tv to remind and inform Canadians about important and notable people or moments in Canadian history. And yes, these were all historical facts.
Wilder Penfield is like a God in the neurosciences. He pioneered the diagnosis and surgical treatment of epilepsy by removing the seizure focus site in the brain. It remains the only actual potential cure for some types of epilepsy.
There is a trail you can follow where she walked from . starts in the Niagra region .
for the Laura Secord one they made a trail where they think it is the way she went it is a 32 km trail from Queenston Heights Ontario to DeCew House in Thorold Ontario
Best flag in the world!!!
The reason Laura Secord overheard the American plan was the Americans had taken control of her home to use as a barracks and officers' quarters, forcing her to work as a servant in her own home. Her husband James had been severely wounded at the battle of Queenston heights. In fact Laura found him among a group of of the dead and brought him home without assistance. She was able to save him, and was nursing him back to health when the Americans took control of her home, so she was unable to leave. After overhearing the American plans, Laura told the Commander that she had to return a cow to her sister, which allowed her to get away from the Americans. She then walked ~20 miles/30 km through the bush to warn Lieutenant Fitzgibbon.
The Battle of Beaver Dams was interesting.
It is important to know that the Americans were terrified of native Americans at this time. During this period the Americans were moving into the Mississippi and Ohio rivers valleys, and were massacring native villages as they went. (Tecumseh, for example, joined the British side, partially because his own village had been massacred.) The Americans feared that the natives intended to do the same to them in reprisal. (One of the things Tecumseh is remembered for in the US is preventing the natives under his command from killing a large group of soldiers they just defeated.)
A simplified version of the battle goes like this:
As the Americans approached, the natives sprung an ambush on them.
Meanwhile, Fitzgibbon and his men set up at a position where the Americans could see them, but was out of range for the Americans to shoot at them.
After the fighting went on for a little while, Fitzgibbon raised a flag of truce, approached the American commander and basically said (paraphrasing, of course) "These natives really hate you. Most of them have friends and family that were killed by American troops, and I really don't think I can control them if this battles continues. I will make a deal with you. Either you can surrender to me, and I can keep you safe as prisoners of war, ... or ... my men and I can leave and let the natives do whatever they want."
The Americans wisely surrendered.
Laura Secord's contribution to the war was almost entirely forgotten, and after James's death, and the loss of his military pension, she was left destitute. James Fitzgibbon tried twice to secure a military pension for her, but was unsuccessful, due to the fact she was not a member of the military. It was not until 1860, when her story was told to Prince Edward, who gave her a gift of £100, that her story became widely known.
All these Historica Canada Segmants are true Canadian Heritage.
Someone else commented the same already, but to rub it in, check out Leo Major! Canada war hero
Laura Secord is now a chain of chocolate shops, tasty stuff, my aunts go stupid for it, it was a life hack for favourite nephew lol.
fyi - "Upper Canada" was the old name for the Ontario area, and "Lower Canada" was the name for the Quebec area. That was all before Canada was a country. Upper meaning "up the river", further in land from the coast.
There's a few well-known Canadian actors in these minutes. Dan Aykroyd appeared in the Avro Arrow one and in the Laura Second one, I recognize the face and voice of the guy who says “how many men can we muster”.
Those flags shown are actual submissions from hundreds received. I saw an article once that showed more and some are pretty horrendous.
Yeah, I recognize both of those actors but I don't know where from.
Some of the footage used in these came from actual movies and TV shows. For example, the Dan Aykroyd footage is from a fwo-part 4-hour CBC movie about the Avro Arrow. I suspect the Laura Secord stuff may have come from something similar.
@OJB Reacts Check out "Canada, the story of us" It goes into depth about things like the war of 1812 and Laura Seacord.
"Upper Canada" was more Ontario. They spoke about Canada in terms of exploration and not North, East, South, West . The arrived on the eastern shores so everything "West" was "Upper". They travelled further inland. More hilly I suppose.
Laura Secord was an American taking care of American Militia in her own home during the War of 1812. Today she is a Canadian Folk War Hero, we even have a Chocolate Company in her name. Upper and Lower Canada were the names carried by the provinces of Ontario and Quebec prior to confederation.
In 1812, the US declared war on Great Britain. The US occupied part of the Niagara area. Which eventually culminated in the Battle of Lundy's Lane. After several thousand casualties on both sides, Americans eventually withdrew.
George Stanley came up with the flag design.
Flags....they say his name at the end John Mathison.
Ok John Matheson, MP (Member of Parliament) was the man in the video about the flags, you should listen a bit more carefully or watch the videos several times before commenting on them, you seem to miss a lot of information that is pointed out very clearly in them, but it is good that you are getting something out of it, btw Laura Secord made her trip to warn of the American invasion in 1813 and not 1817. ;) It was part of the war of 1812 when the Americans tried to take Canada and we actually burned their "white house" twice!
Laura Secord is a national hero in Canada
Hey bro, you really should watch each Heritage twice...every thing you hear and SEE are the historical events !! 👍✌🖖🌻
My dad lives three houses down from the house Laura Secord lived in.
Being a child in the 90s, if I smelled thought I smelled burnt toast without anyone actually burning toast I thought I was going to have a seizure
Informative turned frightening...
A Canadian company producing and selling fine chocolate is named after Laura Secord.
same person.
The burnt toast one is probably the most famous of all the HM videos.
There was was gentleman who was a member of the Irish Guard I think, it was an armored Regiment during WWII. They were backing up the Canadians while liberating the Netherlands at one point. When the operation was completed, the Canadians presented his regiment with T-shirts with a Maple leaf on it. Internationally he had stated that when one thought of Canada, it was always associated with a Maple Leaf. This gentleman migrated to Canada after the war and worked on designing the present Canadian Flag. Even during WWI the Canadians always marched to the song, "The Maple Leaf Forever".
Agreed and FYI our forces always had a maple leaf on their uniform.
I remember these. lots of them.
Who members the... 'The cat came back'... 'The Big Snit'..... ?
The Inuit legends and stories told in black ink on white background still pictures. The Crow " The Trickster and the Bear or Wolf". " ?
Guy with the cigarette and lit fuse and dynamite?
A stroke is a blood clot blocking a blood vessel in the brain. A seizure is something else entirely
they are all true stories and have and well documented
Laura Secord had to travel up the Niagara Escarpment (very near Niagara Falls and the same height as the Falls), from Lake Ontario, through swamp and forest. A total distance of 32 km uphill. This was the war of 1812 (not the Napoleon war of 1812). Today there is a Canadian chocolate company named after her.
Upper Canada is now a part of Ontario, lower Canada is now a part of Quebec.
the tree of peace and hiawatha one was about 1500's
Settlementsin then British North America were called Upper Canada and Lower Canada. English and French.
If you want to get an idea of late 19th century - early 20th century Toronto Canada, do yourself a favour and get into a show called Murdoch Mysteries. Seriously, it's fantastic
Should warn him that it has nothing to do with Rupert Murdoch. It is a detective show that, when it started was the tail end of the 1800s but is now in the 1900s.
@@vaudreelavallee3757 I thought that was clear mentioning the late 19th century to early 20th but sure, fair enough
In 1813 Canada was known as upper and lower Canada which consisted of what is now Ontario (upper) and Quebec (lower) this has to do with the war of 1812
I am so boosted you are doing these! Now please, with maple syrup on top, check out our Canadian wonder musician Classified!
The Royal Canadian Legion and many Canadians were not happy with this. The flag of Canada during WWI and WWII was the Union Jack and they has fought under that flag and the Red Ensign. I believe when you say "what is that" it is a form of the Red Ensign. PS: Don't like the colour red and have never seen a maple leaf that colour of red.
Laura Secord, made her way to the British Camp to warn them of the Americans invading Canada. The Canadian side won, we kicked their ass, and then went on to invade the US and burn down their Whitehouse. Her name was later used for chocolates and ice cream. Oh Canada! 🇨🇦
It was from this Queenston homestead that Laura Secord began the journey that has earned her a place in Canadian history 43°06'28.1"N 79°14'59.2"W. Despite the danger and harsh unsettled country, Laura Secord is a heroine due to her heroic journey to warn Canadian troops of an impending attack by the invading Americans. Her journey along a 32 km (20 mile) treacherous route took more than 18 hours to complete. The dangers of such a journey were many - wolves, wildcats and rattlesnakes were common in the peninsula at this time, as were unfriendly Native forces. The journey today would e 20km but based upon existing trails at the time would be 32 km in 1813 from 43.16396451141076, -79.05505098325861 to 43°06'28.1"N 79°14'59.2"W. Real story with some embelishments expected.
Canada was founded in 1867, The war of 1812 was between Canadian / British Vs. American.
Upper Canada (Ontario) and Lower Canada (Quebec) were not "CANADA" as in one nation, but a single colony that was split into two separate classes / cultures.
Dr. Penfield and Dr. Lucille Teasdale are legends amongst us Canadian or can I even say Quebecers?
I guarantee in 90 years people will be saying "Who would let someone cut open your head and do brain surgery in 2022? They had no clue what they were doing!" Lets try to remember that in 1934, like today, they thought medical science was incredably advanced and they knew what they were doing. Its only with the benefit of hindsight that we see how much they still had to learn, and, likewise, someday they will consider us to be in the Dark Ages of Medicine too.
We are talking about the War of 1812. The Americans declared war and invaded Canada. Laura Secord is viewed as the heroine of the War.
These days, Laura Secord is more famous for her chocolates than her heroism - a company ironically now owned by Americans. BTW, have you come across the Three Trolls in a Baggy spoof song The War of 1812? Upper Canada=Ontario. Lower Canada=Quebec.
Jacques Plante - there was a spoof of it about the fictional Jacques Trappe - jockstrap
Nellie McClung - my maternal great grandmothers were big fans of hers
Chanie Wenjack - there is a Gord Downie song The Stranger about him
Winnie the Pooh - there is a made for TV film you can find on youtube called A Bear Named Winnie
Laura Secord walked 32 kilometres to get her message through.
Laura Secord's name lives on in a Canadian chocolatier company bearing her name
Also, she walked 32kms!!! out of American occupied territory to give her message!
Probably the longest 32km of her life!
@@OJBReacts yeah I bet halfway there she's like "ohhhhh screw it, let the Americans attack" sorry I'm stoned, legal here 😎👍❤️🇨🇦
the heritage minutes are true stories
In Canada Laura Secord is seen as a hero, in the US she is viewed as a traitor because she was born in the US and her Father fought with the British during the revolution and moved the family to the British colony to the north (Canada) as a loyalist to the crown after American independence.
The blue on the flag would mean The Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic ocean
I don't understand why you question any of the info in these history moments, they are literally history.
YeH really shows how incredible those Canadian individuals where!
Its all real sugestion in the sketch about the canadian flag
There were all suggestions and there were even more.
For a more expanded explanation of the heritage minute's you should check out the Minute Women podcast. They are very well done and informative.
