Canada is in a strange situation. I don't even pretend to know much of anything about it, though.
Technically, isn't Canada now completely independent of England, and not a part of the United Kingdom? However, doesn't Canada still consider the reigning king and queen of England to be over Canada, too (and, yet, in French-speaking Quebec, I doubt that there's much regard for the king and queen of England).
I never have read much at all about Canadian history, except where it pertained to the French & Indian War, and the American Revolutionary war, and that was pretty basic.
I wish that I was in B.C. now, and headed to Alaska again (my only trip was in the mid 1990's). A guy at the supermarket last night was in a particularly good mood, and I commented to him on it. He said that he was going to British Columbia tomorrow (which would be today), and that his wife was at home right then doing all of the packing. I would have liked to have killed him. ha
My recommendation: start in the interior of Alaska first, before you get on the ship for the rest of the way. Otherwise, the land portion at the end would be very, very, very anticlimactic.
