French colonials versus English colonials, each recruiting Indigenous allies in quest of supremacy over the revenue-producing resources of the land (e.g. beaver skins, tobacco) for profits of the corporate investors on behalf of the sovereigns of France and England.
Yes but the French wanted to work with the locals through "comptoirs" and create trade whilst the English were there to stay "en masse" and eliminate the middlemen.
Yes, the French went for assimilate, the English more for annihilate, or at least for apartheid. A coureur des bois ("runner of the woods") was a French-Canadian trapper and/or trader with First Nations peoples. Some married Indigenous women and made M├йtis families and communities in the outback. So the practices vis-├а-vis the middlewomen were very different, though M├йtis were subjected to racist persecution. Oh right, the English won the Battle of the Plains of Abraham and turned New France into Canada!
Thanks Allen. Hingston from Kingston, by any chance?
"The French and Indian War," or, as it's called in Canada, The British and Indian War.

The French and Indian war was 50 years earlier than the War of 1812-1814
Indeed, but does the War of 1812 have another name in Canada? If so, I'd highlight that contrasting viewpoint too.
No. That is how it is known in Canada. Is it the same in USA?
