The story of the settlement of Canada, illustrated with cheerful animated cartoons. The arrival of Jacques Cartier, the fishing and fur trades which followed, and the rival colonization by the French and British, climaxed by the battle of the Plains of Abraham, are depicted. The coming of the United Empire Loyalists is seen; then the west-coast gold rush and the completion of the transcontinental railway. New branches were added to the family tree when many European settlers came to fill the great spaces of the Prairies. Finally, we see the whole country matured into a nation, its traditions enriched by those of many peoples.

This short was shown in between children's programs when i was very young,(late eighties) i always loved it, i came upon the description of it when searching for something else completely, its so weird i totally remember what it looked like and the music "mr. frog went a courting and he did ride mm-hmmm mm-hmmm!" i always hated the part when miss.mouses' father tells her to stay away from the frog.
