There's something about post-war Canada that I find so endearing and prosperous, a time from before it fell to Americanisation and still had the vision of a rugged nation taming the land.

ENGLAND LIVES AND MARCHES ON

[Redcoat and Kilt. @ScotForUnity]

Thread backfired. Lots of praise for Scots intellectuals, engineers and soldier for constructing the British Empire.

Reminds me of an old joke - something along the lines of:

The Englishman says to the Scotsman, you couldnt build an empire until we paid for it, the Scotsman replies you couldnt build an empire until we showed you how to fight.

It was basically something along the lines of two peoples (made of a variety of older peoples) spent a few centuries fighting on their island, and accidentally sharpened each others skills and spurred each other on - bonded by their original Celtic faith, languages and identities of Celtic Briton. Then the additions of Roman, Angle, Saxon, Scandinavian and Norman peoples and cultures, and then the slow grind to relative homogenisation.

And once the Kingdoms in the North slowly unified to form "Scotland" and likewise in the South to form "England"..they got a few centuries of "sparring" in, then unified and went out into the world with REMARKABLE consequences.

The British built the modern world that we knew, invented all the relevant technology of the medical and industrial revolutions, and it was almost exclusively Scottish, English, Welsh and the odd Irish leading the way.

When the imperial wars raged across Europe, and confronted by & competing against the likes of France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, The Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, etc - the British won. This wee island nation crafted over a millennia against itself, went on to construct the most widespread, stable, powerful, wealthy and civilised empire the world has ever known.

And for almost two centuries.

What the USA achieved from 1776 to 2025 is incredible....but what Britain achieved from 1707-1945 was a marvel that will never be repeated in the course of human history.

Brits should be protected and replicated at all costs.
