		<description>I would tell the story of Canada by discussing the lived experience of ordinary people who came before us. What was it like to live in Huronia in the 1600s, what about a worker in an 1890s factory? What do these stories tell us about Canada? What was it like, how has it changed, and why?  
I would also focus on what&#039;s important not just what&#039;s well known. The museum should tell less known stories and not just rehash what people learned decades ago in high school textbooks.</description>

		<description>[continued from email 4] the French would be interesting and give a broader view of the early years.

Finally, I think that asking for feedback with a low character limit is a bit disingenuous. It&#039;s probably also irritating for the poor person stuck connecting these all together, so why have it? Either you want public feedback, or you don&#039;t.

Finally, I would like to see further examination of the other groups who built this country. The French and English and First Nations are, of course, amply covered, but what about the heavily marginalized Irish or Scots (particularly the Gaelic speakers placed here after the clearances). Gaelic was the third most commonly spoken language at the time of Confederation. Today, it is all but none existent. A word about the forced Anglicization of groups other than [con&#039;t]</description>

To the best of my knowledge, the Canadian War Museum will not be changing, so why add additional emphasis on the military? 

I like the frank inclusion of some of the darker elements of our history, such as the Chinese Head Tax or the Grande Dérangement (though wonder about the new exclusion of the Beothuk extinction). However, I do wonder if this might make the exhibits too dark.

		<description>Judging from the events placed here, there&#039;s not much coherence to be found in the new museum. There&#039;s social history, military history, Aboriginal history, and political history all mashed together. I think it will be difficult to create any sort of narrative from so many disparate pieces and that the future exhibits will suffer greatly for it. In particular, I&#039;m concerned about the inclusion of military history, as that is quite amply represented by the Canadian War Museum.</description>

		<description>I like the timeline however, there is not enough early Canadian history the really shaped our country i.e. Capt. Cook and Vancouver discovering and exploring the west coast, Champlain voyage and routes, the inland exploration of what are the prairie provinces.</description>
