USA made mistakes?
Heck, I've even heard some far right reactionaries say that the USA's biggest mistake was in not invading and annexing Canada!
Well, they did try......twice. 1776 and 1812 (approx). :lol:

we're too tough for you guys, you'd die of the cold and
our eskimos will get you, and you'd be trampled by all
of the caribou and killed by bears, and you'd never make
it through the thick forests, and you'd get lost, just
give up now.

US has rejected Alberta Oil Sands Project - Canada contacting China for deal....
So if the U.S. isn't interested, why is Canada still marketing other nations to come in and mine???
So if US isn't considering this area, it's ok for China to consider the same? I don't get the bias here unless it's the same old school yard catcalling.

The first time they got turned back by Benedict Arnold. The second time by his ghost

Benedict Arnold? Not really. Arnold was one of the leaders of the invasion of Canada in 1776 and was defeated by a combination of British regulars and colonial militia at Quebec.
In 1812 the hero was Isaac Brock who defeated and captured most of a much larger army at Detroit, and later commanded the resistance in the Niagara Peninsula. It was here he was killed leading an attack against the American invaders.
You can read more about Arnold and Brock below.

For some reason my post did not come out correctly. What you wrote is correct. When I posted, half of what I wrote did not appear on the post. Strange how the omission didn't appear that way on my screen.
But yes, Arnold was still loyal to the States in '75. It was late in the war that he became a turncoat.

Benedict Arnold? A turncoat ??!!!! You mean a "Hero of the American Revolutionary War"...I know, that is what it says on a Brass plate on a building where his house stood, uptown here in Saint John. He lived here after the War.
Do they? Arnold was given a sizable pension by the British after the American Revolution and he spent his remaining years living in England. There were thousands of people like Arnold during and after the American Revolution. Many of their descendants are living in Canada. We call them Loyalists, and they are one of the reasons why the Canadian accent is close to the American accent.
