    way back in 2005, I heard that there was a course called "Canadian Studies" in UCD. Was that some sort of a mistake or a joke?

    Anyway, when me and my mated heard of it, we had a great laugh.

    I remember seeing that module. Seems to be a joke since Canada has zero history, culture, foreign politics and good looking people

    I've seen American studies before and Chinese studies. It's no different to international history / politics just with a focus on Canada.

    I think you might benefit from taking this module.

    They lost their only lecturer in 2007 as far as I know and didnt hire another, the old dept is where the tunnel between admin and arts.

    If they did a course on South African studies, I could go for that. A lot of their history is a catalogue of how not to go about things, and it got pretty messy at times. See Blood River. :cool:

    Lol at someone thinking that Canada doesn't have any history or politics worth talking about when UCD drags out the completely unimportant history and **** stirringly boring politics of Ireland for 3 years

    One of my old college mates actually did this as a first year option!

    I think there were 10 or so in his class. And they had a lecture based on ice hockey, no joke. I got the impression that all his classmates were doing it just for the laugh!
