What I find (been told) is that Canadians of course are taught their own history, although they don't really build up the characters as the USA and British do. Because the states/Britain play such a large role in Canadian politics, they are taught quite a bit about each country. Thus the Canadian identity becomes not what they are, but what they aren't.
True, and too be fair our history is quite boring.
