let me quess white guys in Canada did not take any native American land?
Nope but Richard King stole the ranch from one of my wife's ancestors. Jose Narciso Cavazos had been granted that land by the King of Spain.

And in truth Manifest Destiny was nowt but a land grab, the war was deliberate.

Quite recently the Canadian Government gave the Northwest Territories to the Innuit to run as they saw fit. Other than that they were no different than other European settlers with respect to the native peoples.
