Once, there was a nation forgotten by others. A nation underestimated by all, and to underestimate a nation is a grave mistake, be it ally or enemy. He became tired, tired of being ignored, or being overshadowed by his louder sibling. Until une Voix spoke to him. And told him to make everyone remember him. So he tried. Oh, how he tried. He fought viciously with and against other nations, even his own brother! Yet still, he was left out of the history books. So le Voix got darker, it began whispering things in his mind, cruel ideas to make sure no one would forget his name. It visited him in his dreams, teaching him the ways.
The ways of an Empire.
This, mon amis, is the tale of how the Canadian Empire began.
And how it all ended in tears.
