Canadian Rebellions: Bitterly Cold Yet Politically Boiling
¬¬¬¬¬¬The Canadas: Bitterly Cold yet Politically Boiling
LONDON - What to make of the rebellions in the Canadas? How do they affect the British Empire? Why are the Canadians rebelling against the British control and system of government? This article will lead you through the events of the Canadian rebellions and provide you with all the necessary details about the current situation in our North Atlantic colony.
The Canadas have always been a troubled place in terms of government and ruling. Sparsely populated, rich with resources, said to be “loyal” yet always in some state of political unrest, residents of our British North America colony just never seem to be all right with any system of leadership.

This could eventually lead to a loss of British control in these important territories and to the split of the mighty British Empire! Thus, we must do everything in our power to make sure that the Canadas stay under British rule and remain under the traditional English system of government. This means that we must send over more soldiers, be aware of every small attempt at rebellion, and make sure that no spark of senseless change is ignited. Although violence should always be our last resort, the London Advocate Newspaper believes that the potential separation of a colony and the threat of rebellion throughout the Empire is sufficient to justify its
