Donald Trump States 10 Reasons Why We Should Go To War With Canada

Trump WarOutspoken Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump released ten reasons why America should take over Canada by force of the American Army and Airforce. On his campaign website, Trump states:

One – Secure our borders! The 9/11 hijackers came through Canada. If I were president during the attack, it never would have happened because I wouldn’t have let them in. Canada’s border along the North Pole is crucial. We need to keep an eye on Russia, and we can’t have Canada doing it when America is way, way better.

Two – The French Canadians. Who needs them? A war with Canada would be like also having a war with France. A two for one war.

Three – Beaver pellets. Their market hold on Beaver pellets is unfair, those beavers are American.

Four – Their money has ducks on it. We would be doing the Canadians a favor by taking them over.

Five – For oil. They are our biggest importer of oil. We’d be safer if it were ours. It would also show the Middle Eastern countries we aren’t afraid to go to war over oil. 

Six – I’ll think of more later but trust me, there are at least ten reasons to go to war with Canada, you can see it in their beady Canadian eyes. Something fishy is going on above the current northern border. We could win that war in a day.

D-Trump 2016, Make America Great Again!

  • Attila Vinczer

    Americans are still mad we torched the White House in retaliation for their attack on York. They quickly painted it white to clean it up. After many years, Americans returned the Mace they stole from the city of York. In the beginning, the Mace represented the authority of the Crown. Today, it represents the authority of the speaker in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

    There was a time Top Gun was at Base Borden in Barrie, Ontario and we did build one of the best fighter jets, the AVRO Arrow, in Ontario. (I think Northrop and or Lockheed had much to do with it being sunk.) Those days are long gone. So best we remain strong allies with the US or they will force us to use the secret Wuxi Finger Hold, rendering them defenseless.

  • Stefan S M-Chev

    I am a proud Canadian… I laughed… Even if this is purely satirical, I can definitely see him saying that. And NO!… no one is planning on invading Canada you imbeciles… Lol
    I hope to see him in the Whitehouse. North America doesn’t need another soft spoken, politically correct pansey. Trump is an eccentric blowhard, but what great leader does’t have some erratic idiosyncrasies… What he does have though is, balls and leadership in droves. For your sake and ours, my Yankee brethren… Vote this nutcase in. We all desperately need a nutcase to unfuck the damage done by liberalism to all of our freedom and security. And us half frozen polite Kanuks need it to offset the all the rainbows and unicorns blowing out the ass of our new pagent queen Trudeau… (Or however you spell that French BS)

  • Cec

    Bloody hell. He wouldn’t even get past Ontario and Alberta. We are one of the most favored countries. If you go to war with us then you got another world war because Australia, France, Brazil, Mexico, and parts of Russia

    • USA!

      And…… Those countries are all weak and PARTS OF RUSSIA not all. And look at France.

  • Terry

    To think as a Canadian I thought trump would have made a great president.. until I read this.. he’s got another thing coming if he thinks they could win a war with Canada in day. we fought for this land in the first place, apparently his little brain couldn’t comprehend the history in which Canada was formed.. not only that, we are much more advanced now than we were back in the day and we are definitely not in as much debt as they are today… not to mention a lot of Canadians are already waiting for a fight.. it’s just a matter of with whom we will be fighting with. so Trump. good luck in your endeavors… and if you do decide Canada is the place you would like to war with, we will gladly accept. Just don’t hold us responsible for what happens to you specifically for being such a dumbass

    • Paulverizer Pierce

      If it weren’t for America protecting your ass then you would be speaking Russian cause you were an offspring of some communist fuck who was balls deep in your mom. YOU didn’t fight for this land, the British did lmao arrogant prick. Get past 3rd grade history before you talk about it. O and btw. You borrow military equipment from America. They have ten times the population, ten times the military, ten times the industry and ten times the budget. Good luck. Canada is our greatest ally… not to be confused as our superiors.

      • Terry

        it’s funny how you think we would be afraid of the Russians, or America for that matter. Even funnier that you think we are your allies….. what our governments do has nothing to do with the actual people. America is that is the big bully country who tries to make friends with all these little countries just by saying “we are bigger than you”… come try it buddy and see what happens

        • USA!

          Frickin canadian. Shut up, eh. We could blow your head off if we felt like it.

          • Terry

            come try it.. btw… its you americans that say eh more than us.. jokes on you

          • USA!

            Dude. you STUPID. You know how you said America is a bully country. That means we are STRONG and can beat you up.

          • Terry

            if you think bully means strong then you are more stupid than I thought

          • USA!

            Bullies are the people who beat up little kids. Canada is the little kid. The only people who can stop the bully is the adult. There is no adult cuz we da strongest! And you the weakest!

          • arctic_front

            Terry, STFU!. You are an embarrassment to to THINKING Canadians everywhere YOU are not. Dumbass!

          • Terry

            First of all…. you are more than welcome to come try and shut me up, because I’m no keyboard warrior like yourself.. Second… you are the embarrassment to Canadians seeing as you are unable to write a simple statement. Maybe you should try school, and then attempt at writing something more comprehensible. You are the very reason why stupid people shouldn’t breed.

        • Paulverizer Pierce

          LMFAO you must have slept through school. Or you deliberately choose to ignore the world around you. I currently live in Canada and have friends who are in the military here. They borrow equipment and ships and everything from the Americans. You don’t even have the firepower to keep us at bay. If you put the world’s total militaristic budget in a pile, the U.S. consists of appx. 48% of that. We have superior technology AND funding in our military as well. If you are silly enough to believe you could put a dent in our forces you are one of the most ignorant Canadians I have ever met lol We have more people in the state of California ALONE, than you do in all of Canada… let that sink in for a moment. Maybe that’s all it will do is sink in the mud clogging that thick skull of yours xD We literally press one button and end your whole country. Shit, we don’t even have to send in troops. Our Air Force, alone, would decimate your whole nation. You’re right, I do believe we are allies. Ignorant fucks like you need to go back to 3rd grade if you don’t think we are. There is a reason the 49th Parallel is the longest undefended border in the world. If you can’t see that then you need to wake the fuck up and smell the roses buddy cause you are delusional.

          • Terry

            Again.. i’ll repeat how dumb you are by saying because you have more, that you are superior… more doesn’t mean better nor does it mean stronger.. and bullying sorry to say does not mean the big kid picking on the little kid.. oh and btw… there is a reason we showed off our jets in the first place… and we aren’t afraid of invasion. because unlike you we would fight… the only reason you are In the position you guys are in today is not because you are bigger or badder… it’s because you hide behind other countries… you pick fights because you think they’ll be easy shit. then you call in all these other countries to do the job fore you because you are incapable of completing the objective yourselves… and when shit gets hard you tuck your vagina between your legs and high tail it out of there. so keep talking your shit.. because that’s all it is, talk….

          • Paulverizer Pierce

            Sure, I am dumb and you believe Canada would win the war if the states were to pommel your pompous ass lmao you wouldn’t even survive living in America let alone fighting against them cause you are just an arrogant prick who sits behind his computer thinkin his shit don’t stink. All because you live in the 51st state. Shut up and do as you are told like a good little doggie, bitch. Just like you guys always have LMAO come get you some if ur so damn confident hahaha

      I was just gonna mention that hahahaha! History states that we shall kick their righteous asses back to where they came and then proceed to burn down their white house

    • Paulverizer Pierce

      haha the war of 1812 was a war between America and Britain. They weren’t even a nation at that point. “Canada” didn’t even fight in that. There were some settlers who even sided with the American armies. Get familiar with your history before spouting ignorance.

      • Cody Ross

        Britain ordered Canadian generals to fight. The only difference was we were known as British North America then. If you learned anything in high school, they would’ve taught you about that. Canadians put in all the effort. England just sent the orders.

        • Paulverizer Pierce

          Again… you speak of Canada as if it were a nation…. “Canadian generals” didn’t exist. You were a colony until July 1, 1867. I may be bad at math but if I’m not mistaken, 1867 didn’t come until after 1812. The war was between Americans and the British. Your ancestors got caught in the crossfire. America and Canada have never fought against each other in all of their history. That is why we are each other’s greatest allies and will remain to be for years to come.

          • Alexander Park

            So you are saying that before the Declaration of Independance the US of A didnt exist and was simply known as British colony over to the west of England. No you idiots you were americans before you were independant. And France beat the british for you pussies americans love to toot their horn but if the French didnt intervene US of A wouldnt exist. Americans lovve to share how good of a job they did when actuslly the french came in to the rescue. And while canada was a british colony it was still fricken canada. The loyalists you speak of lived in Upper Canada and the FRENCH CANADIENS lived in lower canada. You are seriously telling me that when the US tried to invade Canada they said lets invade this British Colony????? No you retard it was marked on maps as canada hundreds of years before we were a country. Thats like saying Newfoundland didnt exist until 1949 because it was just a colony of britain. Strange how in world war 1 there was the Newfoundlands own troops….. not just british colony troops. Your just being an ass because the US lost the war big time to a much much smaller country. And the US didnt win their own war of independance the French did it for them. Which reminds me remember when the french saved the US from the British but then when Napolean asked for the favor returned the americans said naw. Remember this. When the japanese bombed pearl harbour Canada declared war agaisnt them instantly.The US took a day. FOR ONE WHOLE DAY CANADA STOOD AGAISNT JAPAN ALONE WHEN THE US WAS ATTACKED. US sucks. Sold material to the Nazis and in both world wars let the Canadians and British and Allies fight the germans while they sat back and watched for years before joining.

          • Paulverizer Pierce

            Precisely. You are not a nation until it is declared. Before the DOI was signed America was a colony of Britain fighting for freedom. That’s why it was called a Revolution. It wasn’t a war between two countries it was a revolt to rise up against the mother country and say fuck you we are gonna do it our way. Not one nation on the planet was a nation until it was declared as so. Thats like saying Im a CPA before I get my degree lmao Yes the French did help us and we probably couldnt have done it without them. I don’t know where I ever stated that they didn’t. You were a colony not a nation. Yet the point still stands they didn’t invade for land they invaded to prove a point and they did seeing as the british withdrew their forces. That’s called a surrender boys. Guess you are too arrogant to accept that. You can’t be a nation before you are declared a nation lmao that’s the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. Canada was Canada hundreds of years before it became canada… you realise how hillbilly stupid that sounds right? I existed before I ever existed. Whatever you are smokin man, pass that shit cause it sounds strong af. Also, if you want to bring up us waiting to jump into the war, read up on your WORLD history and not some bias version you learned from your elementary teacher. America and England made a pact called the Isolationist Policy stating that we have to leave them alone to their affairs in the East and they couldn’t interfere with ours. We joined WWI because they owed us something like $20 million and if they lost then there would be no one to pay us. After that war they reinstated the Isolationist Policy as The Monroe Doctrine. So, again, England told America to stick to themselves and they would do the same. Hence why we didn’t help in WWII until years in when they finally attacked us. Your points are not valid without knowing a little more about American history than assuming you know from all that control and conditioning you have been through in your life cause you are clearly brain washed. See I don’t just spew at the mouth I read into every situation from all standpoints before I make rash assumptions about a people or culture that I dont know about. Luckily for me I have lived all over the place and have read into all kinds of history. I’m actually a pretty big buff. I don’t have fallacies such as you. It just brings us back to the old saying that everyone hates the guy shakin the biggest stick. You guys have a stick up your ass for your own damn allies and don’t even see how silly and naive you sound. 17 years I spent there and never once heard about Canadians. You know why? Cause you’re not that important. You believe you are because you have a big dog in your backyard. You have grown this false sense of power that has never existed. Sure you are a great nation but you need to get your head out of your ass and realise the truth behind your own success. It was never you. Never has been, never will be. Were practically one with one another. You talk about us like they know us and 9/10 of you prejudice pricks cant even name the last 3 prime ministers but they can all name the last 3 presidents. Have some national pride and at least be thankful and proud of the shit that you ACTUALLY did as a nation. Not these false senses of victory over something you were never around to see. You wanna talk about the WW? Canadian soldiers fought well and fought bravely. Won some pretty important battles in both of them. Never did it alone. No one has ever done it alone. Welcome to war. Sides are chosen and allies are made. Between you and America, I would say you are the most arrogant out of the two. Taking credit for wars that you were never a part of. The colony of Britain fought in the war of 1812. Just like a colony of Britain stood up to the king and said go fuck yourself, leading to what we know as America today. They were never a nation before it was declared. You cant exist before you are born.

          • Cody Ross

            If you know anything about Canada though, through history, we were still known as Canada. People that lived here during that time period referred to themselves as Canadian because they didn’t receive much from Britain at the time. All Britain did was defend the land. There was no social aid at all. Hence why we always refer to it as “Canada defeated the United States of America in the war of 1812.” Because that’s exactly what happened. Canada defeated the United States. And we burned down the White House to while we were at it. You can spin it either way you want, but the facts are still there along with the history. We may be great allies now, but we weren’t then. It’s the whole reason why Canada expanded so fast. Was to stop the USA from taking territory. (Granted, this happened after being classified as a dominion.)

          • Fernando Garci-Crespo

            You are confusing the term nation with the term country, and geographical area. The British Colonies of America were a nation before shortly before declaring independence because they became their own cultural identity separate from the British, they became a country when they governed themselves and had their constitution. In the same way, Canada was a nation even without being independent, it had it’s own cultural identity, it was a dependent nation, which means it did not have autonomy from the British but it was still considered a nation. And Canada was a geographical area in the map (The British colonies of northern North America where called Canada in the same way Mexico was called New Spain by the Spanish during the colonial times), so basically before declaring independence from the UK, Canada was a nation and a geographical area, but not a country. Until you and the Canadians have stated wherever Canada won (or lost) the 1812 war as a nation or a country, you will never reach a middle point.
            If you were wondering I am not Canadian, I was raised in Boston and now I live in Canada, so I get to see both sides. And my family was Spanish, Mexican and German, so I can have multiple points of view.

          • Troy Livingstone

            I guess you are entitled to your opinion, of course if you listen to the rest of the world their opinion is different than yours. Why else would Canadians be loved worldwide, why else would some Americans claim to be Canadian just to get treated better ? I guess you’re the expert though.

          • Samuel Dowdall

            You are acting as though you need to declare something before it exists. Well newsflash the US hasn’t ‘declared’ a war since WW2 but the US has still gone to war many many times. Just because you haven’t declared something doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened. those people were still Canadians and were fighting for CANADIAN goals. If we started only believing things that people ‘declared officially’ then you get a country of people who believe Vietnam was a peacekeeping mission, or that the U.S went into Iraq to help stabilize the region, and not to just steal the oil. You are standing from a point of ignorance my friend, you went through the american school system which is regarded as one of the worst and most biased in the world. The history you are taught focuses on america and america alone, and neglects to inform students about the other countries that are just as important as the U.S (contrary to popular american belief). The facts you are given are edited by the american media to create the image of a strong, good willed, benevolent nation that strives to bring peace and democracy to the world. The simple fact is, that whole image is a lie. You say america has the biggest stick, and while that is certainly true, you act as though we are bitter BECAUSE the U.S is so powerful, which simply isn’t the case. We are bitter because the U.S has a reputation for being a highly war driven country and at the same time they have the biggest stick. Which is just a dangerous combination, and up in Canada we actually like the idea of peace on earth, and good will towards man.

            So the Americans did not win their revolution that started in 1764, because they were not a nation so they only colonist being terrorist? This was & is Canada, colony or country. Our history is just as old as USA, just because we did not become a country 91 years later does not mean we did not have pride on our land. So, Paulverizer Pierce, history in our legion where it lies, that’s is the reason we are the Dominion of Canada & not United State of American, TODAY. Yes, there were some settlers that wanted to join USA, but these where the bullies that more & couldn’t. in the 1800’s we didn’t try kill to steal the native lands & those who was in favor on USA wanted those land. The war 1812 did happen, & those those who lived and who had pride on our then settlement in Canada, did fight it & did won it.

            And don’t forget, our Canadian ancestors burned down the White House too. Paul Pierce, you must be a Trump supporter seeing as the way you criticize others of having an end cation while remaining dumb as a stump.

            Alright, As an american citizen who lives in Canada, let me say a few things about this argument. Canada did not exist before 1867, and if I am saying that, then I am also saying that the united states did not exist until they officially became a country. It’s funny because as much as people hate to admit it… History is flawed in both countries. Us Americans are not your enemies. I’m tired of hearing about all the hate to my country, even if If I understand that as a whole we have not always been in the right. It’s funny… In the states we do not ever hate on Canada, but in Canada all i hear are comments about the USA. It’s funny how ridiculous this whole argument is over an article that is fake and about semantics about whether canada was a country or not. It’s also funny, that more hate is coming from the canadian side when you are supposed to be the most polite and respectful one out of us. YOU even have a law against hate groups and all I hear is hate. BOTH the US and Canada are wrong. You must realize that fighting amongst ourselves just breeds hate.

            I love the USA. I love your democracy. Yes there are many inequalities (and billionaires trying to control the world) and you are stuck with a few very conservatives morons. But your country is the place were all is possible.

          • James Rielly

            The USA is corporatist republic,the American dream is propaganda dished out by the elite to give people hope.Most Americans are either uneducated or could care Less about what Canada did in 1812.Except the few that get trolled by someone stating 1812.

          • Canada101

            Oh really because I’ve been to the States many times and all they do is bash Canada or not know because the states schools don’t teach them anything but the United States history, and Canada has been called lower and upper Canada since 1812 the lower Canada was for the lower class citizens which is the French Canadians the upper class was for the citizens who spoke English

          • Paolo Zambito

            And there were two parliaments also. Each controlling their own territory…

            Besides, Canada stopped being a colony in 1982, not in 1867… Much to the disappointment of French Canadians by the way (I know, it is a paradox).

            Not to sound presumptuous, but we are taught our history, as American are taught theirs. It’s normal that we know our history better than you do.

            It’s almost as funny as Americans claiming they won WW2, we all know if the Soviets didn’t send millions to die on their front Hitler would have walked over the American forces..

          • Seytom

            Yes, Hitler would have walked over the American forces because the Atlantic is so much less of a challenge than the British Channel, and we saw what Hitler did to the British!!!!

            The Soviet contribution to World War II was critical, both in starting it and ending it, but if they had somehow managed to stay out of it, the US would have finished up Japan then turned their sights–and likely their atomic weapons–on Germany. Americans often forget or are ignorant of the Soviet contribution to the war in Europe. Soviets, and random anti-Americans, forget or are ignorant about the US basically winning the war against Japan on their own, WHILE leading the war effort in western Europe. If Germany and Japan hadn’t had the US against them, they would have walked over the Russian forces.

          • brittany

            German UBoats were all over the Atlantic, and even traveled up the St. Lawrence River long before the States finally joined the war effort. It was the Canadian Navy that kept them from attacking North America.

          • Evan Asselstine

            You are so wrong, America thought that they could expand their influence and that the people of Canada would be happy to side with them. Guess what we were not. Guess what we still don’t want to be part of the States. Want to know why? America, most violent country in the world. America, not even close to being the best educated. America, the country that is loathed by the rest of the world. America, so full of crap that when they talk the BS comes straight out of their mouth. Americans are uneducated, bigoted, prejudiced and hated. There was a group of Americans in Israel that went into a Jewish Kosher Restaurant and ordered pork and thought they were funny. My friend that was there and a Canadian slowly backed away from them and said I am not with them, I am not an American. They threw them out of the restaurant. My second cousin went to Australia on leave from fighting in Afghanistan and they thought he was American and no one would let him into the pub, the hotel or anywhere. The minute they found out he was a Canadian he was welcomed in with open arms.
            No thanks America, stay where you are or we will remind you that you didn’t win WW2 or WW1 or jack that we, Canadians took the most difficult beach with the least casualties. The Americans were given the two easiest beaches and they managed to screw that up so bad they were weeks getting off the beach while the Canadians were the only force to reach their objectives on D-Day.

          • Cap’n Canuk

            You’re talking about “confederation”, when Upper and Lower Canada combined. Prior to whites ever settling, natives even called the (Toronto) Ontario area “Kanata” or “The Meeting Place”. So Canada has been called that, or some phonetic variation thereof for hundreds of years.

          • Adrian M. Kleinbergen

      • Scott Hodgins

        Please get your history correct.. Canada did exist in 1812. Upper Canada, Lower Canada, and to the north there was a place called Rupertsland. But there was a “Canada”

        • Paulverizer Pierce

          Canada became a nation July 1, 1867. Which means “Canada” wasn’t even on the map. Again, there were even settlers in the north who sided with America. At that point, “Canada” was just a bunch of british loyalists who were getting persecuted in America during the time of the Revolution so they all got together and moved north. It is known in history as the Great Migration. Also, it wasn’t just the British giving them orders. It all started over the British building defenses and forts along the American borders after we beat them out of our country. If we are talking politics, seeing as EVERY war is politics, America also won the War of 1812 when the British withdrew their forces from our borders. If you are Canadian, then you know that Canada has accomplished a lot of great feats in their time. There is plenty to be proud and brag about. Winning the War of 1812, however, is not one of those.

          • Halifax POV

            Considering that the War of 1812 was started by the USA attempting to take over British colonial land to the north–and make no mistake, although not yet the Dominion of Canada, it was known as Upper Canada and Lower Canada–then our side still won even if the British chose to withdraw from USA territory which they had been occupying. British forces (along with help from Canadian aboriginal peoples and settlers) repelled the invasion forces of the USA.

            It was never the intent of the British to regain USA lands. Certainly, the USA did not win: tried to take British land in the colonies of Canada, failed miserably, had the president’s house burned… two hundred years later, many in the USA still cannot accept that their side FAILED, i.e. LOST. We won because we stopped your side from taking over our territory; that is all we wanted.

          • Ryan Fleming

            Interesting how the US national anthem is about a war they lost. Written in 1814 a poem about by Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in Baltimore Harbor during the Battle Of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. Yes by Canadians, and yes there were Canadians here, and we were part of the British Colony but also Canadians.

          • Paulverizer Pierce

            lmao you guys are so full of yourselves. Funny how you always talk about Americans like they are and here you sit with your delusions of victory in a War you never existed in lol That’s like me saying Louisiana existed just because half the country was named Louisiana Territory before we ever became a nation xD The war started because after we won the revolution they decided to place defenses along our borders and we felt threatened and told them to remove them. When they decided not to we started a war. We used the war as a way to take more land, granted. However, that wasn’t what it was over to begin with. There is this beautiful book called ‘The War of 1812: for Dummies’. In case you slept through school. You should be able to understand the text I hope 🙂 Thanks for the opinion on the matter though. It’s nice to see how many arrogant Canadians can come to the same delusional conclusion about a war they never fought in. Glad to see such interest in your mother land though. National pride is a dying characteristic. You should be proud. Even if you were never really a part of it. Even if your motherland did lose and withdraw their forces. Either way, it has shaped you into the beautiful beings that you are today. Cheers to that haha

            I see America as the most successful military power on the planet for the past 2 and a quarter centuries. I guy would be hard pressed to find 2 years back to back in which American military was not attacking someone or other.
            From 13 states clinging to the Atlantic littoral they have conquered half a continent, they have colonies and regions of influence over most of the globe, their war planes, war satellites, war ships and war bases are almost everywhere. Their covert operators have been achieving American government goals for decades.
            To answer your question specifically, they won from Mexico a huge amount of what is now the continental United States in the 1840’s, finishing off what slavers began in Northern Mexico(Texas) a decade earlier.
            In the last century we saw the centre of power for anglo hegemony on the planet shift from London to Washington.
            Canada’s last century has been , for the most part, moving with that shift from being an obedient dominion in the London centred empire, to being an arm in USA’s world ambitions.
            USA has been a winner for all that 2 and a quarter centuries. They have always expanded, never been reduced.

          • Glen Armstrong

            I am sorry, you see, in Canada, w are taught history that includes history from outside our own borders. I know it might be difficult for someone to comprehend that who learned in a school system where the classroom maps END at the Northern border of the U.S. But if you read history books that were NOT written in the US, you would find out the the US invaded Canada TWICE, and lost BOTH times. We have a smaller, but better educated population that takes pride in it’s history. No need for us to rewrite history so we can claim that we never lost a war. As an example my American friends all say Vietnam does not count because it was a “peace action”, only the rest of the world called it a war.

            There were people who thought of themselves as Canadians and called themselves Canadians before there was a country called Canada, just as there were people who thought of themselves as Americans before the revolution. A number of historians have described the War of 1812 as the “Canadian Revolution” because in it, our ancestors declared their Independence, from you. A small minority fought on the American side, but the great majority of Upper and Lower Canadians, English and French speaking alike, fought on the British side.

            The British and Canadians were badly outnumbered by the Americans. As the Americans made their plans, it became obvious that their easiest objective would be Upper Canada. The Maritime provinces were protected by British sea power and Lower Canada was protected by its remoteness and by the fortress of Québec. But Upper Canada would seem an easy target. The population was predominantly American and the province was lightly defended.

            However, the badly outnumbered British were in fact better prepared than the Americans knew. The 41st Regiment of British regulars had been reinforced. The Provincial Marine controlled Lake Ontario. Much of the preparation was thanks to the prescience of Major-General Sir Isaac Brock,administrator of Upper Canada. Brock had a thorough grasp of the challenges of the upcoming conflict and for the 8 months prior to the war he pushed forward defence measures in every possible way. Perhaps most importantly, Brock developed a policy towards making allies of the First Nations.

            Like most commanders, Brock was dissatisfied by the number of troops at his disposal, with only some 1600 regulars in the province. But he was not prepared to simply wait passively for the Americans to act. He believed that a bold military stroke would galvanize the population and encourage the First Nations to come to his side. This he accomplished with the quick and bloodless capture of a key US post at Michilimackinac Island in Lake Huron, on 17 July. When he arrived at Amherstburg, Brock found that the American invasion under the bombastic General William Hull had already been withdrawn. With the great Shawnee chief Tecumseh at his side he boldly demanded that Hull surrender Detroit, which the hapless general did on 16 August, in effect giving the British control of Michigan territory and the Upper Mississippi.

            At this point Thomas Jefferson’s remark that the capture of Canada was “a mere matter of marching” returned to haunt Washington. Having lost one army at Detroit, the Americans lost another at Queenston Heights, 13 October, after their militia stood on its constitutional guarantee and refused to cross into Canada. But Brock was killed – an irreparable loss. A new American army under William Henry Harrison struggled up from Kentucky to try to retake Detroit. One wing was so badly mauled at Frenchtown, 22 Jan 1813, by a force of British, Canadians and First Nations under Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Procter, that further attempts at invasion that winter were abandoned. The only Americans in Canada were prisoners of war.

            With the death of Brock, British strategy was to act defensively and allow the invaders to make mistakes. Governor Sir George Prevost husbanded his thin forces carefully, keeping a strong garrison at Québec and sending reinforcements only when he got them. As the campaign of 1813 opened, the invaders determined to seize Kingston to cut the link between Upper and Lower Canada. But a weakness of resolve diverted the attack to the lesser prize of York [Toronto]. The Americans briefly occupied the town, burning the public buildings and seizing valuable naval supplies destined for Lake Erie; but the British, by burning their half-completed warship, frustrated the enemy’s plan to appropriate it and change the balance of naval power on Lake Ontario. Neither side totally controlled that lake for the balance of the war.

            The Americans abandoned York and on 27 May 1813 their fleet seized Fort George at the mouth of the Niagara River. While this period was the bleakest of the war for the British, the military situation was not irretrievable. The Americans did not press the advantages of their success, particularly in not keeping General John Vincent and his army from Fort George on the run. On the night of 5 June 1813, Vincent’s men turned on their pursuers at Stoney Creek. In a fierce battle the Americans were dislodged, had two generals captured and retired dispirited towards Niagara. The Americans suffered another defeat three weeks later at Beaver Dams, where some 600 men were captured by a force of First Nations. Finally, worn down by sickness, desertion, and the departure of short-term soldiers, the American command evacuated Fort George on 10 December and quit Canada. On leaving, the militia burned the town of Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake), an act that drove the British to brutal retaliation at Buffalo. These incendiary reprisals continued until Washington itself was burned by the British the following August.

          • Halifax POV

            Very interesting details. Some if it sounded familiar from many years ago, having once read Lady Edgar’s “General Brock” (Volume 9 from the series “The Maker’s of Canada”). I still have a few volumes in that set left to read.

          • Paolo Zambito

            I am real sorry, and I do not intend to tell you that you’re wrong.

            You right when you state that today’s Canada didn’t exist before 1867. It’s because the new constitution was not adopted then. However, there were two distinct countries back then Upper and Lower Canada. They were independent from each other then but they both had a government and a territory with inhabitants.

            The US did in fact try to take the north, but they realised it was impossible because the land was too harsh. As stage as it may sound, back then the French Canadians sided with the British.

            If you really are interested in Canadian History, you can contact me. Just know that saying that Canada did not exist in the sense that there were no political institution called a State, is false. Back then, the constitution was called “The constitutional act” and it introduced one of the first parliament in contemporary history. Here in Quebec were often boast about the fact that we are one of the oldest democracy in the world. Before even than the Canadian democracy (Québec is older than today’s Canada).

            Our democracy dates back to 1791.

          • Christopher Gaudry

            If anyone is delusional it is you my friend. You reek of arrogance. No doubt your book War of 1812 was written By an American for Americans, in big letters so you could read your amusing little fairytale. The war of 1812 was the result of the British proclaiming all neutral ships must be licenced in order to sail into European waters resulting in US ships being inspected for contraband and stopping the US from trading in Europe. These policies were result of the Napoleonic Wars. This took place outside your borders so I guess you wouldn’t know anything about that since the US is the center of the universe. Canada owes its present shape to negotiations that grew out of the peace, while the war itself — or the myths created by the war — gave Canadians their first sense of community and laid the foundation for their future nationhood. To this extent the Canadians were the real winners of the War of 1812.The war was certainly a failure for the “War Hawks,” who coveted the annexation of Canada — the war proved that this was not militarily feasible. The conclusions that the war was a “second war of independence” or a war of honour and respect are less easy to judge. We are better in hockey too so we gave you basketball and baseball so you would’nt get hurt. Lmfao

          • Fred Blogs

            You are wrong about the reason for the start of war. The Americans started the war because of a British practice of” impressment” . The Americans stated that all they needed to do to take over Canada was to “March” They found out it wasn’t going to be that easy. Regardless of the fact that Canada was a colony, at the time, does not mean that residents had no loyalty to their developing country. In the final analysis , America started a war with the intention of grabbing Canada, and ended it gaining almost nothing at all . I would call that a stalemate, not a victory.
            Americans burned the first parliament buildings in Canada, and , in turn, had downtown Washington burned to the ground, including the White House.
            Thousands died , on both sides, and nothing was gained, the borders remained the same, as if there had never been a war. “Impressment” became a non issue after the war, with the British victory over Napoleon, and was not even mentioned in the Peace Treaty documents.

          • reg

            what is also interesting in the Anthem is that the British did not want to take the fort, but rather just to destroy it. The British with us Canadians did just that. Baltimore was just another inconvenience to the USA as was the destruction Washington and the White House days before. Write your stories USA but the truth is still out there. Baltimore was not an American Victory, rather a shit kicking, handed out by us to the USA

            In 1812 the Americans went to war with Upper Canada, a British Colony. It was the foundation of what is now Canada. I wonder if the American’s won the war of 1812, who burnt the White House, and why do we not fly the Stars and Stripes??? The American’s LOST. Please read some history.

            A War of 1812 re-enactment at Fanshawe Pioneer Village in London, Ontario. Which side won the war has been long disputed. Geoff Robins/Postmedia News

            By Randy Boswell

            In a relatively rare admission for an American scholar, a leading U.S. historian who authored a provocative new tome about North American military conflicts states bluntly that Canada won the War of 1812.

            Johns Hopkins University professor Eliot Cohen, a senior adviser to former U.S. secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, writes in his just-published book Conquered Into Liberty that, “ultimately, Canada and Canadians won the War of 1812.”

            And Cohen acknowledges that, “Americans at the time, and, by and large, since, did not see matters that way.”

            The book also echoes a key message trumpeted by the federal Conservative government in recent weeks as it unveiled ambitious plans to commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812 over the next three years: that the successful fight by British, English- and French-Canadian and First Nations allies to resist would-be American conquerors — at battles such as Queenston Heights in Upper Canada and Chateauguay in Lower Canada — set the stage for the creation of a unified and independent Canada a half-century later.

            “If the conquest of (Canada) had not been an American objective when the war began, it surely had become such shortly after it opened,” Cohen argues in the book. “Not only did the colony remain intact: It had acquired heroes, British and French, and a narrative of plucky defense against foreign invasion, that helped carry it to nationhood.”

            In an interview with Postmedia News, Cohen observed that, “all countries have to have these myths — not in the sense of falsehoods, but really compelling stories that are, in fact, rooted in some kind of truth, even if they’re not the complete truth.

            “And the War of 1812 gives Canada that,” he continued. “It gives you some foundation myths. It gives you Laura Secord. It gives you heroes.”

            Cohen, who advised the Bush Administration on geopolitical strategy from 2007 to 2009, said the War of 1812 “was the last point at which the United States thought really seriously about trying to take Canada by force of arms.”

            It’s clear, he added, that “there were a lot of senior American leaders who thought the outcome of the war would be the forcible annexation of Canada — thinking, not entirely without reason, that there would be some segment of the (Canadian) population that would welcome that.”

            There were, in fact, deep roots for such thinking in the U.S. Rebel forces during the American War of Independence had launched a northward invasion — ultimately unsuccessful — nearly four decades before the War of 1812.

            In 1775, a rebel pamphlet distributed among Canadians in present-day Quebec warned that they would be “conquered into liberty” by the invading revolutionaries from the South, an oxymoronic appeal to join in the revolt against British rule, and which Cohen captured in the title of his book as a sentiment which still echoes in contemporary U.S. foreign policy.

            Subtitled “Two Centuries of Battles Along the Great Warpath that Made the American Way of War,” the 400-page survey of North American history from 1690 to 1871 contends that the national mindsets of the U.S. and Canada were profoundly and enduringly shaped by struggles over the land and water routes between Montreal and New York City, principally Lake Champlain, Lake George and the Hudson River.

            And while Cohen’s book highlights the fact that the U.S. won the principal War of 1812 clash in that crucial corridor — the Battle of Plattsburgh in September 1814 — he concludes that “the nominal causes for which (the Americans) had fought the war had advanced not an iota” by the time a peace treaty had been signed and hostilities ended in early 1815.

            U.S. forces “had failed in their objective of conquering Canada,” Cohen writes. “They had suffered humiliating defeats at the hands of numerically inferior enemies; the Royal Navy had driven American commerce from the seas; and American national finance had suffered severely.”

            But like Canada, which emerged victorious from the War of 1812 and more aware of itself as a potential nation, the U.S. salvaged a solid — even strengthened — sense of national identity, Cohen argues.

            “Some of this has to do with myth, understood as powerful stories that frame a deeper conception of one’s history,” he writes. “They clung to the victorious naval duels of the USS Constitution, the ‘bombs bursting in air’ over Fort McHenry, the fleet action on Lake Erie, the Battle of New Orleans … and — very much — Plattsburgh.”

            Even as late as the U.S. Civil War in the 1860s, Cohen said in the interview, a “substantial body of opinion” persisted among American political leaders “that sooner or later, Canadians will decide that they want to join the United States.”

            But, added Cohen, even the most ardent annexationists in the U.S. had come to believe by then that the absorption of the Canadian colonies by the United States would only happen “on the initiative of Canadians.”

            So are you saying you’re more qualified to say who won the war of 1812 then Eliot Cohen

            A lot of us are descendants from upper Canada, lower Canada, GB whatever you want to call it at the time. So it holds its own validity. Atleast we can have a beer and laugh about it now.

            Sadly again if the USA won the War of 1812, there would not be a Canada to-day. The USA would be 7,000,000 sq miles big to-day. It is not. Also thank-you for you kindness in noting that we have done some mighty things in our day

            The land now called Canada has been inhabited for millennia by various Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the 15th century, British and French colonies were established on the Atlantic coast, with the first establishment of a region called “Canada” occurring in 1537.

          • Gregory Bezanson

            don’t be silly. British (including Canadian born men) burnt down the White house. British loyalists added to the already existing population of English and Europeans

          • Jeanette Vilcu

            I believe the reason the “white” house is called the White House is because they believe it to be a safe house…..same as why they wave the white flag.

            Hey dummy this is the constitution but in the 2e constitution we were considered as Canasian in the french occupation we were canadian because Canadian was the term used to speak about the people that live in quebec at the time but now whole Canada

          • Canada101

            Get your facts straight Canada did exist in 1812, maybe you should take Canadian native studies in order for you to realize it was indeed called Upper Canada, Lower Canada and Rupertsland…… When you know your facts maybe then you can have a valid argument I should know I just took Canadian Native studies in the 2014-2015 school year

            Yeah, and Americans can be oh so proud of the Viet Nam war, where you guys kicked their assess really hard, right? Or, what about WW2 when you guys didn’t even join in until Pearl Harbour was attacked. Come on.

        • Cristina Diana

          Seriously. Look at Jonathan Sewall and Jonathan Sewell. British attorney general of Massachusetts, and his son was Chief Justice of Lower Canada. His son Stephen was later solicitor general. They were also family with the Neilsons who have an extensive long lived military history and are descendants of royalty and viking blood. The smartest and strongest Americans left for a reason.

      • you need some serious schooling when it comes to history

      • Andy Moon

        Well, then you’re saying that the British, French Canadians and aboriginals didn’t fight together and never received the nickname “Canadiens”? (Yes, it’s spelled that way) Good sir, Canada had its own organized army at the time.

      • BenjaminJGrimm

        The reason the White house is white is because the residents of York (now Toronto) exacted revenge on the pillaging and thieving American “soldiers” that looted and burned their homes believing that the Canadian soldiers at Fort York had unleashed a secret doomsday weapon upon the invading force (the commander blew the weapons depot that held 350 barrels of black powder, forcing an explosion through a 30-35 foot wide opening killing but leaving unmarked hundreds of American “soldiers”) upon arriving in Washington the Canadians burnt the White House to the ground and the Government at the time had to paint what remained white to hide the scorch marks, these weren’t British troops, but pissed off Canadians, so watch it.

      • Troy Livingstone

        Actually, if you look at a map of Canada from 1812 it clearly says Upper and Lower Canada. Regardless if we were a British colony at the time the country was still called Canada

      • Melo Gardener

        You crazy Americans, Canadians not only won the war of 1812, they also burned down your first White house and handed it back to you … lol lol and after you stole our Avro Arrow plane you’re not stealing anything again let alone our country or our oil…lol lol unless you want Canadians to burn your White house down a second time??? Hmmmm lol lol lol

        The Burning of Washington in 1814 was an attack during the War of 1812 between British forces and those of the United States of America. On August 24, 1814, after defeating the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg, a British force led by Major General Robert Ross occupied Washington, D.C. and set fire to many public buildings, including the White House (known as the Presidential Mansion at the time), and the Capitol, as well as other facilities of the U.S. government.[2]

        The attack was in part a retaliation for the recent American destruction of Port Dover in Upper Canada. It marks the only time in U.S. history that Washington, D.C. has been occupied by a foreign force.

        President James Madison,

        The White House was burned by Britsh Troops in retaliation for the burning of Yorkton…
        The White House was burned in the War of 1812. Dolly Madison, wife of the President, was able to save the portrait of George Washington when she ran from the building. It was rebuilt and white paint was used to cover the damage from the fire. Since then it has been called the White House.
        The British invasion of Washington D.C., in the summer of 1814 was a defining moment in the coming-of-age of the United States. The British torched the capitol, the White House, and many other public builings, setting off an inferno that illuminated the countryside for miles and forced President James Madison to gallop out of town while his wife, Dolly, stayed behind to rescue a life-size portrait of George Washington from the flames.

      • Melo Gardener

        You don’t know much buddy…. this is real history and funny as anything…you attacked Canada run by the Brits and we stopped you and burned your White house down and a few other things and you don’t know it . Now why doesn’t that surprize me????

      • reg

        It was the British Officer, The Canadian soldier, The Canadian First Nations Peoples, and it was also the Canadian Spirit that defended our land against the aggression of the USA. We actually beat you all. We a land that was not even a Nation State Kicked you asses out of our land. Yep a bunch of hicks north of the Great Lakes, and a few British Officers threw you out on your all mighty ASSES. If you did win this 1812 war, there would be no Canada, but there is a Canada. There was also a few British Officers that had dinner in the White House, but we Canadians torched that sorry little mansion.

    • Mikko Kivisto

      What about it? That was over 200 years ago.

      Anyways, I see below a debate where there are many getting it sort of right, but missing the mark on all sides.

      The “War of 1812” (which actually lasted until early 1815 but never mind), was fought within the context of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe. Great Britain was pissing off the Americans because of the Royal Navy’s policy of “impressment” of American citizens from US ships for conscription into the Royal Navy. They were also unhappy with Great Britain’s alleged support of the Indigenous tribes of the Ohio Valley, where the US wanted to settle. Thinking that Great Britain was weakened by their battles against Napoleon, and wanting to appear as a legitimate world power against Great Britain’s apparent bullying tactics, they concocted a scheme to invade the British North American colonies (specifically Upper and Lower Canada because they were more vulnerable than Nova Scotia).

      The American forces miscalculated Great Britain’s strength in the colonies, who were augmented by their Indigenous allies and Canadian militias. What they thought would be a cakewalk turned into an ugly, protracted war. Blows were traded by both sides; Great Britain gained an advantage by capturing Detroit, but the US countered by raiding York (now Toronto)–destroying the colonial legislature in the process, and later occupied the Niagara Region. Neither side was gaining any real ground.

      Once Great Britain defeated Napoleon, the US could see it was a matter of time before Great Britain would turn its full gaze on them. So, negotiations for a peace settlement began (after all, even Great Britain was tired of war). The war effectively ended in a draw, but both sides could save face and claim victory. It could be argued that the Indigenous peoples were the real losers: the promised sovereign nation they fought for was conveniently set aside during the peace talks.

      A couple other notes: it was true that there were some settlers in Upper Canada who initially were sympathetic with the US, but that soon changed after the American troops burned their crops. It was also true that Canada as a sovereign entity did not exist until 1867, but that doesn’t make those early settlers any less Canadian; they formed the nucleus of what would become the Canadian identity, like the early American settlers did before the American Revolution.

      • Bernard Chabot

        Just to add a few things from the québécois point of view, At that time canadien designated the french settlers of Lower Canada, the same guys who fought (and lost) the french and indian wars against the British colonies in 1754-1760. They were indifferent to the independence of the USA despite invitations from the congress. They fought with the British at Chateauguay against the Americans in 1813. What is funny is that part of the food supply of the British army came from Vermont because New Englanders were against this war 🙂

        • Evan Asselstine

          And, Might I add, the Quebecois did a great job of it and seemed to enjoy kicking American butt. lol

      • Josh Mazzanti

        Americans like to claim victory of 1812, I’m glad you didn’t but you’re also still just using a more rational version of the American perspective (suggesting the eagle always wins) Did you know that the British North American/Canadian military burned the white house down? Almost entirely removed from American history, and yet somehow most Americans believe they won the war of 1812. If that were the case I would be an American citizen or maybe non existant

        • Mikko Kivisto

          I’m Canadian, by the way. My little essay is from a post-secondary Canadian history perspective. I’m also trying to give a more balanced view because neither side actually “won” the war–neither side gained any territory in the end. The northern States didn’t even want to be a part of the whole thing (why fight your best trading partner?). But, if it makes you feel better, yes, the British won because they repulsed the American invasion. Happy?

          On the other hand, the US could claim victory because they “sent a message” to Great Britain, strengthened a pretty sad military organization into something more respectable, and could at least point to a victory in Louisiana (despite the fact that this battle took place after the treaty was signed–news traveled slowly then).

          I did know that the White House was burned. However, I know of no Canadian/BNA colonial militia involvement in that attack, only British forces. Other than perhaps some taking the view that it was revenge for York, most of the militia would have preferred to stay home and protect their crops.

          That all being said, I suppose British North America could claim a victory of its own because the war set into motion the beginnings of what would become a “Canadian” identity made up from American Loyalist and British settlers, Québécois, and the other British North American colonies. But, it would take an American Civil War to really get things cooking for Canada to finally form.

          • Scooby Doo

            We won the war, otherwise where we are now, Canada, would be a part of the United States. The Americans lost, because if they had won there would be no Canada now.

    You are all idots arguing about a war between us an canadaThe united States wants to build a wall across the Canadian US border however I believe it is us Canadians who are in need of building a border wall to protect our natural resources from the USA ect our fresh water our oil sands our timber and other natural resorses the US threaten to plunder the United States have destroid there own resources and the US war machine has showed and proven their willingness to start wars over oil siting 911 false flag operation to cover up there greed an need for oil an other resorces. Also the US arms coming into our country are a danger to our society as a whole. Now our number 1 priority should be to protect our country from the increasingly high threat level of the USA threat to our nation as a wholrwholr. There deficit and growing need for our natural resorces are increasingly threatening to us as Canadians. Now more than ever before we need to band together as Canadians to protect our nation for the future of Canada and our children’s futures please share and repost this to shed awareness of our countries need to protect our nation now before its to late and all we have is gone.

I travel everywhere on Earth and America is the only one on the outside of an inside joke. As they are being poisoned, manipulated, divided and tax money drained from outside banking interests, there is always this feeling of Patriotism and toughness… which Einstein stated as “the measles of mankind”. You are being used to facilitate a dominant 1% who in the end will discard of you. They already started but falling education rankings clearly show you have no clue.

    forget 1812, really that was mostly the British.

  • Dawn

    The War of 1812 was a military conflict, lasting for two and a half years, fought by the United

    States of America against the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, its North American colonies and its Native American allies. Seen by the United States and Canada as a war in its own right, it is frequently seen in Europe as a theatre of the Napoleonic Wars, as it was caused by issues related to that war (especially the Continental System). The war resolved many issues which remained from the American Revolutionary War
    but involved no boundary changes. The United States declared war on
    June 18, 1812, for several reasons, including trade restrictions brought
    about by the British war with France, the impressment of US merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, British support for Native American tribes against European American expansion, outrage over insults to national honor after humiliations on the high seas, and possible US interest in annexing British territory.[4]

    The war was fought in three theatres. Firstly, at sea, warships and privateers of each side attacked the other’s merchant ships, while the British blockaded
    the Atlantic coast of the United States and mounted large raids in the
    later stages of the war. Secondly, land and naval battles were fought on
    the US–Canadian frontier, which ran along the Great Lakes, the Saint Lawrence River and the northern end of Lake Champlain. Thirdly, the Southern United States and Gulf Coast, which also saw large-scale battles. At the end of the war, both sides signed and ratified the Treaty of Ghent
    and, in accordance with the treaty, returned occupied land, prisoners
    of war and captured warships (though neither side returned the other’s
    warships due to frequent re-commissioning upon capture) to its pre-war
    owner and resumed friendly trade relations without restriction.

    With the majority of its land and naval forces tied down in Europe fighting the Napoleonic Wars, the British used a predominately defensive strategy in the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, although the first engagement of the war was a failed British offensive on New York. Early victories over poorly-led US armies, such as in the Battle of Queenston Heights,
    demonstrated that the conquest of the Canadas would prove more
    difficult than anticipated. Despite this, the US was able to inflict
    serious defeats on Britain’s Native American allies, ending the prospect
    of an Indian confederacy
    and an independent Native American state in the Midwest under British
    sponsorship. US forces were also able to make several gains and score
    victories on the Canadian frontier; taking control of Lake Erie in 1813 and seizing western parts of Upper Canada. However, a large-scale US attempt to capture Montreal was repulsed in November 1813. Despite the major US victory at Chippawa on July 5, 1814, serious US attempts to fully conquer Upper Canada were ultimately abandoned following the bloody Battle of Lundy’s Lane
    on July 25, 1814. The US then fell back roughly 30 km (18 mi) from
    Lundy’s Lane to Fort Erie, where they were pursued by the same units
    they engaged at Lundy’s Lane. The intention of the British was to “drive
    them [the Americans] from the Canadian side of the Niagara.” It turned
    out to be the final major battle fought on the Canadian side of the Canadian-American border (the last taking place at Malcolm’s Mills), ending in a retreat by both sides – with the British being ordered to move their artillery and troops back to Fort George
    near Lundy’s Lane in Niagara Falls “as soon as possible” and the
    Americans abandoning the fort and withdrawing over the Niagara.[5][6]

    In April 1814, with the defeat of Napoleon, the British adopted a
    more aggressive strategy, sending larger invasion armies and tightening
    their naval blockade. However, with the end of the Napoleonic Wars in
    Europe, both governments were eager for a return to normality and peace
    negotiations began in Ghent in August 1814. In the Deep South, General Andrew Jackson destroyed the military strength of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. In September 1814, the British won the Battle of Hampden, allowing them to occupy eastern Maine, and the British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg in August 1814 allowed them to capture and burn Washington, D.C.. They were repulsed, however, in an attempt to take Baltimore and Fort Bowyer, and during their assault at Fayal. An American victory in September 1814 at the Battle of Plattsburgh repulsed the British invasions of New York,
    which, along with pressure from merchants on the British government,
    prompted British diplomats to drop their demands at Ghent for an
    independent native buffer state and territorial claims that London
    previously sought. Given that it took six weeks for ships to cross the
    Atlantic, news of the peace treaty did not arrive before the British
    suffered a major defeat at New Orleans in January 1815. [7]

    In the United States, late victories over invading British armies at
    the battles of Plattsburg, Baltimore (inspiring their national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner”) and New Orleans produced a sense of euphoria over a “second war of independence” against Britain.[8][9] The war ended on a high note for Americans, winning the final engagements of the war and bringing an “Era of Good Feelings” in which partisan animosity nearly vanished in the face of strengthened American nationalism. The war was also a major turning point in the development of the US military.
    The poor performance of several US militia units, particularly during
    the 1812–13 invasions of Canada and the 1814 defense of Washington,
    convinced the US government of the need to move away from its
    Revolutionary-era reliance on militia and focus on creating a more professional regular force. Spain was involved in fighting in Florida but was not an official belligerent; some Spanish forces fought alongside the British during the Occupation of Pensacola. The US took permanent ownership of Spain’s Mobile District.

    In Upper and Lower Canada, British and local Canadian militia victories over invading US armies became iconic
    and promoted the development of a distinct Canadian identity, which
    included strong loyalty to Britain. Today, particularly in Ontario,
    memory of the war retains its significance, because the defeat of the
    invasions ensured that the Canadas would remain part of the British
    Empire, rather than be annexed by the United States. In Canada, numerous
    ceremonies took place in 2012 to commemorate the war, offer historical
    lessons and celebrate 200 years of peace across the border.[10]
    The conflict has not been commemorated on nearly the same level in the
    modern-day United States, though it is still taught as an important part
    of early American history,[11] and Dolley Madison’s and Andrew Jackson’s respective roles in the war are especially emphasized.[12][13] The war is scarcely remembered in Britain, being heavily overshadowed by the much larger Napoleonic Wars occurring in Europe.

    The premise of the programme was a quiz on which Trump-ets were read out on air. We had to determine which were true and which completely fictional. The quotes came in batches of 3 and listeners were invited to text in which one was true. Seven batches, 21 quotes in total, were read out over 45 minutes.

    I was flummoxed. All seemed equally bizarre. No listener got the right answers.

    The presenter then announced the quotes were all true Trump-ets!

    NEWS FLASH. They did not come through Canada. Some were in your country and the rest flew in from EUROPE> NO one came through Canada. As for 1812, the US is seriously lacking any correct information about it. Trump is lying through his teeth, just look it up to see how wrong he is. That is if you can handle the truth and not the fear mongering he is getting away with. He will not start a war with Canada, that would put the US against the world, Commonwealth countries will help us. Like Britain, Ireland, Australia and many more. Does the US really want to start a war because it gives Trump an excuse to lie?

IF he hates Canada so much, we will take back our hockey, football, baseball, basketball players, world class actors, producers, directors, singers, our doctors, nurses and everyone else and see how you do on your own.

    Besides the American invasion of Canada in 1775, and continued
    fighting throughout the War of 1812, Canada has faced American invasion
    on several other occasions.

    1. The Dickson Filibuster // 1836

    2. The Patriot War // 1837–1838
    3. The Fenian Raids // 1866–1871

    All of them failed.

  • Wizzy1

    The name ‘Canada’ originates from the aboriginal word ‘kanata’ for land, village, or settlement.
    The explorer Jacques Cartier was the first to use it on an expedition
    in 1535 up the St. Lawrence River. The Iroquois used the word kanata to
    tell Cartier about the route to the village of Stadacona. They referred
    to it by using the Huron-Iroquois word for settlement or village.
    Cartier used the word for the entire area, and the name ‘Canada’ was
    soon applied to the area north of the St. Lawrence River. Cartier
    referred to the river as the riviere de Canada, and this name was in use
    until the early 17th century. While the region was called New France,
    the areas along the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the river were known under
    the name Canada.

    Fur traders and explorers soon moved to territories to the south and
    west, and the area known as ‘Canada’ grew. In the early 18th century,
    the name was used for all lands that are now part of the American
    Midwest. The first time ‘Canada’ was used as an official name was in 1791. Then
    Quebec was divided into two colonies – of Lower and Upper Canada. The
    two colonies were united in 1841 and named the Province of Canada. They
    were then known as Canada East and Canada West and had a common
    legislature. The country was named Canada at the time of Confederation in 1867.
    The new Dominion was called the Dominion of Canada until after the
    Second World War. The form of confederation was first debated at
    conferences held in London. The delegates sought to determine how the
    Province of Nova Scotia, the Province of New Brunswick, and the Province
    of Canada were to be united. Then, a delegate from New Brunswick or
    Nova Scotia proposed the name Canada. Other names were also suggested,
    including Borealia, Albionoria, Colonia, Efisga, and Mesopelagia. The
    name Canada was unanimously accepted with little discussion. Walter
    Bagehot, an English journalist, essayist, and businessman argued that
    the country should be named Anglia or Northland instead of Canada. In
    response, the Irish journalist, Catholic spokesman, and nationalist
    Thomas D’Arcy McGee asked how people would feel if they found themselves
    being Hochelegander or Tuponian. The first Prime Minister of Canada,
    John Macdonald proposed the name ‘Kingdom of Canada’ at the
    Charlottetown Conference of 1864. The word kingdom would refer to the
    united provinces of New Brunswick, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Ontario. The
    founders of Canada argued in favour of this name as to establish a
    monarchical basis for the new constitution.

    The name Dominion of Canada was used until the 1950s when Canada gained
    autonomy and political authority. The Canada Act of 1982 marks a
    transition away from the use of Dominion of Canada and refers only to
    Canada. The British North America Acts also stipulate that Canada shall
    be taken as the official name of the country.

  • Henry Geskes

    The banter I’ve read here is laughable. It’s a fake article, who cares?

    And regardless of opinion on countries aren’t colonies, the argument does sound like (some of) the Canadians on this thread are talking down to Americans. Whether that’s right or wrong, unfortunately, much of the world view Americans in some negative light. Which is misplaced, as I’ve met many US born citizens (I’m Canadian), and they’re good, hard working people like us.

    The US leaders, work in a fixed political system, which is more oligarchic than democratic, and its Military actions, for example “freeing” Iraq from tyrannus rule, basically wanting oil that wasn’t theirs, all gives the US an image to others that can be characterized in many a negative context.

    And not by accident no doubt. “Divide and Conquer”. Wars are good for politics, because if we aren’t at war, then we’re talking to each other, and if that were to happen long enough on a scale like world peace, governments would be overthrown, the special interests they serve would dissolve, borders would disappear, and soon after the monetary system with it. This is a necessary social evolution for humans to exist for much longer. Much longer being say, as little as 500 years. Finite resources will collide with an infinite growth paradigm, it’s mathematically inevitable. Politicians know this, but being in cahoots with oil companies, food and drug producers, and the like, they have it good and comfortable. Let future generations figure it out.

    This thread is an excellent example of people doing what they have been conditioned to do, be xenophobic. Arguing semantics of a battle they didn’t participate in, stemming from an article that’s entirely satire. I hope even just one of you reads this, and breaks the cycle of xenophobic tendencies, so as future generations will have a better chance of getting along, globally, with all our brethren here on earth. So the imaginary borders our ancestors fought so hard over, thought of as necessary in our development as a species, to disappear and evolve our social construct.

      No, but I’m sure we can agree that Harper was a little too friendly to American models and that the shooting at parliament was nicely addressed by the NDP in a speech around the time he questioned the neutrality of the house. There was also a secondary incident in the west end of Ottawa at the Tangers outlet that looked a little fishy. Right after Mr. White was promoted from Ottawa Police chief Durham to Canadian political senator the same month a fleet vehicle purchase was made that cost a lot in extra modifications that shouldn’t have been necessary, and now the 1.3% bonus to police officers on all new infrastructure……… Sadly we have several departments that play with statistics in order to gain more money, including social services, courts, and social services. It’s still costly, just thankfully far fewer casualties.

    I think the Canadians have been plotting against us for quite some time. but ya gotta hand it to them; first they send us Bobby Hull, Stan Makita, and Eric Nesterenko, and Chicago wins the Stanley Cup for the first time in a zillion years. then they send Neil Young [Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young] and music aficionados will be forever grateful. but then they send us Rafael Cruz. Oh Joy! Now Rafael must think he is playing the role, of a modern day Joseph, because he think Ted is the second coming of “You-Know-Who”. What the hell did we ever do to Canada, to deserve this?

    Just a small point about Canada as a nation and Canadians.
    My Paternal grandfather was born and raised in Toronto, as was my father.
    When I was born in 1941 (remember how autonomous we were then?) my legal status was ‘subject of the British Empire.’
    In the late 1940’s our parliament gave us something called ‘Canadian national.’
    Our citizenship designation was promulgated by our parliament in the mid 1960’s.

  • Cherish

    My take on all is the U.S. just formed and the settlers that all travelled far( in which many lost loved ones in the travel ) to make something for their families and their selves! They then faced being thrown in the mix between a war they were not interested in. If you’re pushed around and bullied, natural you either keep submitting or stand ground!! Watch the video.. I will also add that I do believe they went beyond trying to invade Canada, but it absolutely was not against the Canadians for it was still at that time a British colony. And ruled by Britain. Seems to me that both Canada and the US gained respect and most freedom. God bless Canada and the USA!!

    Canadians suffer financial losses when Americans go to war. We choose not to survive by Wal-Marts and slurpees. We make better beer. We can turn right on red lights. We believe in regulating hazardous materials, not just making it look like we do. We are kind, and not racist bigots. Just because you ruin your land doesn’t mean you need to find more turf, it means you need to take care of what you have. I am one step away from contacting parliament because of the hazards America imposes to Canada. I will be damned if we lose our identity to Yankees. Every time we call in American consultants we suffer in the long term. The American models are completely unsustainable. The US crime rates are off the charts and watching the US today is like watching the movie Idiocracy. Canada is already invaded and taken over thanks to the stupid conservative administration. Going to war with us would literally be like going to war with your better half, literally. How stupid can you be? I mean really. You had better learn to back off, because the rest of the world shames America. The entire planet is one step away from putting you in your place, and there is now a new reserve currency. Honestly, the US is viewed as terrorists world wide, and nobody wants to visit. Every single country speaks highly of Canadian tourists, and negatively of American. I have met some super amazing Americans, but the group mentality is generally pretty abysmal. American vulture funds and foreign policy can’t be fixed with a new face and will never be forgotten. Given the multicultural status of Canada, if you wage war with us, you are not only waging on yourselves, you are waging war on the rest of the world. We are pretty good at staying out of other people’s business because we don’t need the drama. I have spoken with many Americans that are straight up embarassed of their heritage. Maybe, just maybe if you’re so concerned about people attacking you all the time, you should stop pissing people off. You get more bees with honey than you do with vinegar. You have no idea how embarassing it is to be your neighbors. Even Israel seems to mock the US regarding the middle East, and it seems rightfully so. Why they help Israel so much after the USS Liberty I don’t know (possible valkyrie). If you want to come here and enjoy some poutine and smell some freedom you are more than welcome to. Heaven knows you are notorious for junk food. Just go home when you’re done and stop buying out our businesses to shut them down and open your own. We should cut off your fresh water, and laugh while your country goes bankrupt. Laughing stock of the planet, attacking Canada. Bring us some more honey boo boo. That is a whole new level of stupid.

    I have been across Canada and back. I have brought up the possibilities of war on Canada and the military may one aspect of war. The general Society as a whole only see the Canadian image as being overly polite. Yes we are nice as people but the other side to that coin is a very different matter that should be considered. Anyone who decides that it would be “OK” to invade is deeply mistaken. Not only would any invader be faced with the military but piss off a Canadian and their livelihood, they better be prepared for the angry Canadian. We are ruthless and we will band together and destroy any attacker if need be. Also having the moose, beavers and bears on our side is a little help. 😉

  • I would support a war with Canada, I also think it is terrible we allow mexican migrants to suffer the indignation of coyotes on thr souther boarder. The Mexican people have been begging for US:Mexican intervention for generations, I support a war to liberate the Mexican people from a cartel run government, over this ME garbage…Bomb Canada & Mexico! Trump 2016!

    He really is the stupidest man in politics right now, and we all know that is a monumental accomplishment if you’re a complete jackass. Yes Drumpf. Any aggression towards us would give every last country the US pisses off the chance at a proxy war on YOUR turf. They’d utilize our geography the same way we did when we mopped the floor with the US. Except they’d annihilate the US population and take it for themselves, it’s be half China, half Russia. So bring it on moron.

    Don’t worry. In canada we might be small to face against america. But we not alone. And all nato more likely will join canada side not america. They will lose all allies if america attacked canada. We will bring whole world army everything they got put on canada soil. And let russia join us. Canada and Mexico will attack america on all side. Don’t be fear america highest is an possible that America will take over canada I don’t think so. Both side are best friends half america will join with us not with trump. It won’t works. Many america are part of canada who love canada. They will help protect us we will protect them america think canada weak. Wrong! Trump forgot that UK france others will send huge ships to land on our soil. We can burn down white house like we did once last 1812 around that year. But I know in my heart america soldier and all family would tell trump no way! We will not attack canada. They are our friend. We even fought many wars together die together. Trump will lose anyways. Hey america if trump win you would support him to take over our country canada?? We are your most closest allies!?
