Is Canada too Multicultural to Appreciate OUR History?


I finished watching a fantastic television series the other day. It was called, "The Sons of Liberty".
From Sons of Liberty
It was a co UK-USA production about events leading up to the Revolutionary War and the signing of the USA declaration of independence in 1776.
Airing about a month before, I saw another series (Texas Rising) that was about the Texan struggle for their independence from Mexico in the post Alamo time frame of 1835–1836.

Both these shows were extremely well done. I am now glued to another series — yet to be finished — done by the BBC called Poldark. It's a story in the post US revolutionary time of the 1780s in Cornwall at the south of England. 
This series is more like a historical novel, but is very interesting to see the way of life back then and be entertained.

These three shows have character, depth and above all, their countries' life during the parts of their 18th century heritage. Both countries are prepared to enlighten and entertain us with that part of our ancestry. 
From Poldark
I respect Canada's multicultural ideals, but since much of our history is being neglected in schools, I am wondering if the CBC is forgetting where and how Canada got its start or just ignoring it because it is the in thing to do.

Is Canada too Multicultural to Appreciate OUR History? It is not. Our history is deep and deserves more than some small vignettes on the multi-cultural TV station..

CBC - give some thoughts to enlightening and entertaining us with some Canadian History, unless you consider our pride is not worth viewing.
