That's right. We just burnt down Youngstown, Lewisport, Niarara Falls, Buffalo and and the Tuscarora villages in retaliation for having Newark burnt to the ground in a snow storm, on a half hours notice, ten days before Christmas because the Kentukians just "felt the urge".

Probably, no Canadians were in Washington.

Pity.

Not probably, there were no Canadians on the Chesapeake Campaign. However the British General in charge of the expedition is buried in Nova Scotia. He got killed trying to pull the same thing in Baltimore and ended up pickled in rum and buried in Canada.

I'd be surprised if there were no Nova Scotias serving on those Royal Navy ships but I'd doubt very much that any Canadian-born soldiers were there.

Just another useless tit from queerbek that doesn't give a flying funk about our once great country.

No kidding. At least Harper made some pretense of trying to balance the budget deficit.

We could if our alliances were sufficiently close, deep and powerful.

Anyway, I'm looking 100-200 years into the future and the US of that time could easily be a divided, diminished third rate power by then.

And when you think of public policy, a century is a flash in the pan.

I am quite sure the British had no problem pressing sailors from Canadian merchants.

Just out of curiosity. . . what exactly are the threats from which you are defending yourselves?

I'd like us to do more peacekeeping under the farce of the UN. Maybe peacekeeping to us is imperialism to them but in my opinion there are a lot of leaders from other countries that need to go.

 

[Ocean Breeze]

Could you do it again?

Please?

LOL.........

It is your TURN ..

plus WE USED UP OUR BURN QUOTA. ;-)

 

[Hoid]

No? I believe British/Canadian militia burnt down the Whitehouse once after pushing back American forces from the border.

That was 55 years before Canada even existed.

 

[Ocean Breeze]

US expansion

Exactly!!

(and being between Trump and his pal Putin ( Two power hungry crazies ) is not all that comforting.

 

[JamesBondo]

I don't recall saying that Hoid was correct.

 

[Danbones]

Could you do it again?

Please?

Beauregard says hello.

All your bases are now belong to us...lucky they told me to come home after Manassas...
(Oh, did I f*ck up your picnic?)

You washingmachington spin cycle slavers would be so effin' screwed today. If you only had a clue.

Oh OK it was Kanada not Canada Lol

 

[Hoid]

Canada cannot oppose america militarily.

That is a fantasy.

Nukeless nations be eezy pickins for honchos with big boy toys, pretty sure kim is up to speed on the fate of honchos that made disarmament deals or decommisioned their nukes.
Right now with our used hand me down military hardware we'd be pressed to ward off iceland but we've got sunny ways.

There were no Canadians at that time.

 

[EagleSmack]

There were no Canadians at that time.

True.

I guess not exactly true for the last invasion

The War of 1812: When the U.S. Invaded Canada — and Failed

Two hundred years ago on June 18, the U.S. declared war on Great Britain. What followed is known as the War of 1812, a conflict whose bicentennial will be marked very differently by the U.S. and Canada

Upper Canada

Upper Canada, the predecessor of modern Ontario, was created in 1791 by the division of the old colony of Quebec into Lower Canada in the east and Upper Canada in the west. A wilderness society settled largely by Loyalists and land-hungry farmers moving north from the United States, Upper Canada endured war with America, an armed rebellion, and half a century of economic and political growing pains until it was merged again with its French-speaking counterpart into the Province of Canada.

 

[EagleSmack]

True that. The US expeditions all failed as did all of the British Expeditions from Canada and the sea.

 

[petros]

It was American Crown loyalists who fought against the fledgling US that stopped the invasion.

 

[Hoid]

I thought only Trump was stupid enough to try to use the War of 1812 as a rationale for anything.

BTW the Senate just voted 88-11 to invalidate Trump use of national defense as a reason for the Canadian tariffs.
