It's true about the beer, dammit. Given a choice I drink either Moosehead or Molson Canadien.

And it's also true about the strippers. Next you get a chance, Wizard, check out a place called Mints in Niagra Falls (been a few years... anyone know if it's still there??)

Re: Double Check your Histroy...

We are one of only two countries on earth to successfully repel an American invasion.

If you're talking about the War of 1812, well then you're wrong. There was no Canada then, and the United States was once again fighting the British.


Actually, there was not one but two Canadas...Upper...and Lower. They are known better today as Ontario and Quebec, respectively. Technically, yes, we were British as were you during the Revolution. You didn't actually become Americans until you won, but prior to that you felt more American than British. Same thing for Canadians, we felt we were Canadians before we technically became such.

Fighting the British??? The Brits were rather preoccupied at the time fighting Napoleon and could spare few troops to defend their North American colonies. We were on our own. The British at the time thought we were lost and that it would be a waste of men and material to try and defend against such overwhelming American superiority. You outnumbered us 15-1.

What most forgot was that the American Revolution created not one but two countries. We were determined to keep it that way. That's why the war of 1812 is also known as Canada's war of Independence. The strategic objective of the U.S.A. at the outbreak of hostilities was to drive the British out of North America totally. Canada's strategic objective was never the conquest of the U.S. but rather the prevention of Canada being conquered by the Americans. When the final smoke cleared, Canada was still not part of the U.S.A. so clearly we achieved our strategic objective and you failed to attain yours. I'll let you draw the conclusions!

End of History lesson!!

"In 1814 we took a little trip......"

Not really all that interested in arguing The War of 1812. Quickly, I will point out that Upper and Lower Canada were British colonies in 1812, and were largely protected by a garrison of British regulars and a smattering of Canadian milita. I'll include a link to an order of battle for British forces at the bottom of this page. And here's a little quote for anyone who really cares to learn a bit of History:

"There are differing views by many historians as to why the War of 1812 took place. One historian, Julius W. Platt, believes that radical expansionism and the belief that Canada would inevitably be annexed to the United States was a major cause. Another primary cause of the war was the rise of Tecumseh, believed to be backed by the British, caused an urgency for the Americans to expell the British from Cananda. The War Hawks, the congress at the time of Madison's presidency, were pushing for the invasion of Canada, and an attack upon the savages who had been tormenting homes on the frontier. Madison never really expected or desired the annexation of Canada, nor did his colleague Monroe (Secretary of State). He was more or less pushed into the decision.

Historian Norman K. Risjord discusses materialistic and economic reasons for the war. The irony of this is that upon analyzation of the War of 1812, it is found to be one of most uneconomical wars in the history of America. The Twelfth Congress, also known as the War Hawks were quite land hungry. Lead by Henry Clay they pushed for war with Indians as well as Britain. The desire for land, Canadian or Indian, fear of a British-backed Indian conspiracy, concern over the declining prices of agricultural products and the restrictions of markets abroad all are believed to have been basic causes of the war.

When asked about his reasoning for the push for war, Speaker of the House Henry Clay would answer "what are we not to lose by peace?". His rationalizations had to do with this mentallity that they would lose their countries character, commerce, and the nation's best treasure if they didn't go to war. Clay could also not ignore the impressment of American sailors by British fleets, and this was another driving force. Clay assumed a leading role in the war against Britain. He then effected President Madison's decision about the war, and more or less pushed Madison from being indifferent, to declaring war. Clay saw the British as an intrusive and unwanted force that was trampling on the feet and violating the rights of countrymen.

The offenses commited against the United States by Britain were the major provocations for the war. Reasons other than vindication can be reguarded as rationalization. There was an obvious anger for what the British had done to America, and many Americans merely wanted revenge.

The War of 1812 affected not only the United States, but Canada and Great Britain as well. In Great Britain, the war did not have a strong effect on the country. Great Britain never thought of the War as being highly important, in fact it was just seen as a small added burden. While the War of 1812 did not have profound consequences for Great Britain, it had a strong effect on Canada.

Canada felt that they were fighting for life and liberty. The War of 1812 had done more in bringing together those of Anglo-American and French origin. It also improved the logistics in Canada a few years after the war ended. One thing that the war failed to do was dealing with the manpower problem. During the war, the Canadian militia was unable to play a large role in the defense of Canada. Unfortunately, Canadians took this to an extreme believing that the militia was solely responsible for saving the country. This lead to a myth which caused Canada to fail in making much needed changes in their militia."

If this hasn't put everyone to sleep, I don't know what else I can do to help.
