The article claims Canadians were "incensed" over the Manhattan navigating the Northwest passage but the article on the Northwest passage claims:

Citation 11 needs pg numbers, may be erroneous

I do not regularly contribute to wikipedia and I do not know the rules for editing or discussion, so I hope my posting here isn’t violating any protocols.

There is a sentence about First Nation attacks on White Americans in the history subsection: “The First Nation allies, only loosely controlled by the French, repeatedly raided New England villages to kidnap women and children, and torture and kill the men”

I find the citation used to support this, citation 11, June Namias’s “White Captives: Race and Sexuality on the American Frontier” a very odd choice as a supporting citation, since the book is not focussed on documenting historical events as they occurred, but examining historical narratives which the book suggests are often highly fictionalized and reflect White American anxieties about race and sexuality. The bulk of the work focusses on examining the various tropes which are repeated in fictionalized captivity narratives, and closes with case studies of three of America’s most famous captivity narratives.

Citing a book about fictionalized captivity narratives as evidence of actually occurring torture and murder seems like an odd choice - it is possible that the book makes reference to actually occurring, well documented violence committed by First Nations against White Colonists, but given that it is not the focus of the book, I think page numbers giving specific reference to the sections outlining these historical events would be appropriate. If such sections can not be found, I believe the sentence should be removed until a better supporting source is found.

Canada US space program relations?

Canada has had a long history of contributing modules, experiments and the famous canadarm to various NASA led projects, (space shuttle, ISS, and now the new lunar space station). I think it is relevant enough to include in the article. 2A0C:5BC0:40:1008:9827:F0AB:7655:3DF2 (talk) 11:43, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
