Resources
Please note that these resources are not specifically aimed at CM homeschoolers and so may not be CM-friendly in all respects. I am just sharing resources I think will be of interest to you.
The Canadian Homeschooler: Canadian History Through Living Books
This is Nicola's 2006 list, with a few additions and updates from The Canadian Homeschooler. Everything I have found so far from this list has been excellent. I highly recommend that you start here when looking for Canadian living books. Many of these books are out of print now, and I recommend searching for them at BookFinder.com to find the best prices including shipping to your address.
Check Charlotte Mason in Community for a listing of Canadian support groups.

This blog is a book and resource list by a Canadian homeschooler. It's worth checking out when you're looking for books on a specific period in Canada's history.
Tea Time with Annie Kate has several reviews of books Annie Kate has used for Canadian history over the years.
M.E. Bond: Where Secrets of the Past Meet Stories of the Present
M.E. Bond: Where Secrets of the Past Meet Stories of the Present
I like this blog for serendipitous discoveries in Canadian history and history in general. I've found children's picture books to check out at the library, interesting websites, and lots of information I didn't even know I wanted to know. Check out her list of Canadian Historical Picture Books!
Also check out the Simply Charlotte Mason bookfinder and the Ambleside Online Canada page. The forums at both of these sites can also be helpful. The "Files" section of the Charlotte Mason Canada FaceBook page has a Canadian history list as well. (And don't forget to share your favourite living books and reviews wherever you can. We need each other!)

French
A Charlotte Mason blog from France. I have a feeling this would be an excellent resource for Canadian francophone CM homeschoolers as well. I saw, among other things, a list of French living books.

Blogs by Canadian Charlotte Mason Homeschoolers
This may be the original Canadian Charlotte Mason homeschooling blog: twelve years old! It is a classic family-style blog, talking about everything under the sun including homeschooling. Anne White also blogs more specifically about Charlotte Mason at her new blog Anne Writes, and also as one of the bloggers at Archipelago, the blog associated with Ambleside Online.
Little Hearth and Homestead
The daily life blog of a PEI homeschooler. Lindsey also writes at The Red Letters Blog.

Maple Hill Academy
This is another blogger who's been at it for a while. Click on her label "History-Canadian" to see what she has done for Canadian History. She also has a schedule for using The Story of Canada by Brown and Jeanneret.
