Canadian history is passed down orally, which can be hard on the knees. This is because over half of all Canadians are illiterate and the other half can't read or write[#endnote_stats]. This has the unfortunate consequence of the accuracy of Canadian history ("history" from the Greek word Historicus meaning "comfortable lies") starting out poor and going downhill from there. Paragraphs starting in italics (Italian for "leans way over") are of even more questionable accuracy than the other non-italic paragraphs which are not terribly accurate, just terrible. Also note: Canadian history is just like the history of other nations, less most of the blood, sex, and betrayal. In short, it's less "Melrose Place" and more "Full House".
