This page clearly needs images. The War of 1812 article has some pictures, but none of them relate to Canada directly. Any ideas for the Rebellions? -- TheMightyQuill 15:00, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Could this article mention Slavery in Canada ? 193.6.218.9 16:39, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
The article states that France lost all but St. Pierre and Miquelon after the Treaty of Paris, 1763. If that was true, then Napoleon wouldn't have been able to sell the rather large portion of then-named Louisiana (Including the Louisiana south lands, and the north lands dubbed Illinois.) in 1803. It's a rather large discrepancy. I'm aware of how they teach this in school, at least early on, neglecting to mention the Louisiana territory, but this is a rather awkward problem. 74.12.0.200 ( talk) 16:05, 19 December 2007 (UTC) Joe
British imperial control did not end until 1931; the title should be something like "Canada from the Conquest to Confederation". Skookum1 ( talk) 14:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
One of the things I have learned doing research is that the Acadians were initially actually deported to other English colonies (Massachusetts to Georgia) and not specifically to Louisiana, although many ended up there obviously. Corlyon ( talk) 00:46, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
What is the distinction between this article and British North America and British colonization of the Americas? Seems to be overlap, maybe at least one should be merged? Skookum1 ( talk) 07:29, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
The Rupert's Land charter specifies lands draining into Hudson Bay; and Louisiana is defined by the Missouri drainage (in its USian meaning, though the Spanish said it only referred to the west bank of the Missouri - see Adams-Onis Treaty. What is the basis for showing this area as "undefined boundary"? Seems a later imposition by USian perspective. Skookum1 ( talk) 07:29, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Strange that the article was moved without discussion, but User:2601andrew is new so maybe he wasn't aware.
Anyway, couldn't it be easily argued that Canada remained British well after 1866? It was self-governing after 1867, but it was hardly fully independent at least until the Balfour Declaration of 1926. And all Canadians were British subjects until Canadian Citizenship Act 1946. I think the old title makes more sense, even if it is also poor. Thoughts? - TheMightyQuill ( talk) 14:16, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus to move page as suggested. Although the current name doesn't seem to have much support, neither has the old name. I'd prefer not to move the page until we find a title that more people can get behind. - GTBacchus( talk) 14:34, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Canada under British Imperial control – Let's move the article back and work on achieving

WOW odd - this should be moved back to the stable title it had for years. "British Canada" is OR.

We recently had this title changed (page moved) and need more input on this by those that have a knowledge of history. As of now this article was moved from a stable title it held for many years (Bout 100 years ago) to a new title that noone realy approves of. As per Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle the old title should go back. Not sure how we got to this point were a new editors has changed this and we cant put it back.

*First choice. This article is in the NavBox for "History of Canada" template, and focuses on one century of Canada's history. The British rule aspect is important, but really it is the dates that are most meaningful and neutral. --

Yes there are thousands of books called "History of Canada" and they all refer to this time period as "Canada under British rule" (as seen below). British North America covers alot more then just Canada as seen at File:British America.png. Not sure why this is so hard to understand - are people not looking at the refs?? In fact i am the only one giving refs for this name chang. Canadians twice revolted against "British rule" to achieve what they call “responsible government" and the title "Canada under British rule" reflects that fact. Moxy ( talk) 19:53, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) — Nnadigoodluck 🇳🇬 08:24, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
Canada under British rule → History of Canada (1763–1867) – The page name does not accurately reflect the content of the article. This article is only about the history of Canada between the years 1763 (Treaty of Paris) and 1867 (Confederation). It does not include the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century when Canada was still under British rule. Unless this article is going to include the history of Canada up until the Statute of Westminster, it should be moved to a new name. TrailBlzr ( talk) 00:56, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
