Canada could be called on for troops in event of war with North Korea

Those Yakees invented Islamic terrorists and fund them and train them idiot. Canadians help whereever we are directed by Washington and TelAviv. War is peace, poverty is success, being blown up is heroic defence of democracy.

You can call as many times as you like I ain;t going to North Korea for any reason unless it's beer related. I never had any problem with them in my hood. fuk off I'm busy trying to escape American expansion and the disease of faux democracy..

Hey-you spelled "Yakees" and "fuk" wrong....and congratulations for spewing out the crude anti Yankee propaganda there! Since ISIS has English speaking western fighters in its ranks-could you not find one to proof read your crap? Or have all the English speakers defected or died at this point? The only people not afraid of Islamic terror are people who own camels and routinely store plastic explosives in their lunch pails!

It may turn to be very serious; God is All-Knowing.
So, Canadians, don't go.
Keep on the non-alignment; it is better for you.

Actually most of Canada does such a poor job of teaching Canadian history that most Canadians couldn't even tell you what year the war started. But that might be preferable to the chest pounding history taught to American students.



A stalemate would mean that neither side realized its objectives. Canada's objective was to remain unconquered by the USA. I would call that a win for Canada. The American objective was to take over British North America. The Americans failed dismally. I would call that a loss.

The proof is right in the latter part of your post.

Well done Bar!

One group of my Niagara ancestors, who arrived from Pennsylvania thirty years before the US invasions started, did not even speak English. There were a thousand or two others just like them. I don't know how "Brit" they saw themselves but I would guess not very. It wasn't so clear cut and homogenous as you would have it. The War of 1812 started out as a "brothers war" along the Upper Canada frontier and the lines were not clear cut until a series of atrocities were committed (mostly in Upper Canada). You are reciting the Coles Notes version but it wasn't that simple.

Actually you want to read Pierre Berton for the best view of 1812. He cites the following numbers: over half of Canada was of French background and had no interest in joining Anglos in fighting anything. Of the remaining population, one third were Yankee born and came to Upper Canada because land was cheaper and had no problem falling back under the Yankee govt umbrella. Another third of Upper Canada citizens were United Empire Loyalists who were so disgusted at British generals from the American Revolution that they would not fight for Brits again-and or they were Scots and Irish and would not go to the trouble to spit on Brits. The remaining third of Upper Canada citizens were natives-mostly Mohawks who were as disgusted by Brit generals as Empire Loyalists and no more willing to fight.

Berton quotes letters written by Brit commander Isaac Brock wrote home to his family griping about how he hated Canada and how badly he wanted to be back in Europe fighting Napoleon instead of freezing in the true north trying to interest Cdn people in joining his army.

Fortunately for Brock, the remarkable Shawnee Tecumseh forged an alliance with Brits and saved Canada from military occupation. In addition, American atrocities- burning crops and houses persuaded a LOT of Cdns that even though they did not love Brits- they were still better than rampaging Yankees!

One should consider what North America would look like if Tecumseh had lived-his agreement with Brits would have given his people control over a huge territory from the Great Lakes, down the Mississippi to Gulf of Mexico and and east to Appalachian Mountains-with Yankees barred from western expansion by both Brits and a massive native alliance!
