Who ‘discovered Canada’? Survey shows divide between Quebec and rest of country

Quebecers are more inclined to say Jacques Cartier – or even Christopher Columbus – “discovered Canada,” compared to the rest of the country, which points to Indigenous people, a new survey suggests.

The results are based on a web study the polling firm Leger did for the Association for Canadian Studies from July 8 to 10, in which it asked a series of questions around historical narratives in the country.

I thought for sure it would be a transgender Muslim aboriginal.
