text: sher said; comment was about history in general, not Canadian history.
  But WE are ALL here for Canadian history, no ?
  Got a GOOD ONE for you ;
  the Peoples of the First Nations move/ walk on foot or by canoe / they do not yet know an animal called "cheval" because it has no horses in 1634 North America continent. This is 
  Sir Samuel de Champlain then Gouverneur Général of Canada who will place a 'command' to the Chief Veterinary Officer of the stables of the kingship of King Louis XIV (a kind of Mega Royal Ministry of Agriculture, oui?). In 1662, "Stables" of France’s King Louis XIV will emerge one of the most remarkable horses to conquer North America;
   the "Canadien" horse (“French Canadian” horse/ see Google-pictures & info). 
  You knew it, eh Sher (Chère ?) ?
  Got another one and...a GOOD ONE to laugh at (you might say ?)
