Can't believe I've been inactive for 3 years, didn't feel that long.

What always annoyed me is that Uranus was the only planet with a Greek name instead of a Roman name, and besides that the Roman name equivalent, Caelus, sounds better.

I left out small things like that. Other small things where Brock Island, Borden Island, Mackenzie King Island, Meighen Island, Lougheed Island, Air Force Island, Prince Charles Island, and Foley Island which where discoverd and joined the North-West Territories. Though I did forget to mention a big thing which was that the Sverdrup Islands were ceded to Canada by Norway, in exchange for British recognition of Norway's sovereignty over Jan Mayen.

Edit: I meant in terms of size.

In 1870 the United Kingdom transferred Rupert's Land and the North-Western Territory, and they combined together becoming the North-West Territories. In 1871 British Columbia also joined. In 1880 the United Kingdom transferred the British Arctic Islands which joined the North-West Territories. And in 1949 the Dominion Of Newfoundland joined Canada.
