Correct, I dont want to know about your bear-fscking. As for the rest of it...
As I recall, it was actually the British who did the burning. You canucks talk about it like you came down through NY and Penn to torch the White House, when in fact all you did was stop a couple pissed off settlers. Sure you were still part of the British Empire and thus can claim involvement in the torching of the W.H. ... but hell, we had already broken out of the Empire. 😛. And as I recall the last major engagement of that war was a resounding defeat for the limeys, in one of the more lop-sided victories in warfare. So if you are going to claim involvement in burning the W.H., I think you should also own up to getting spanked by Andy Jackson.
And frankly, no matter what the rest of your countrymen are like, you've got Alex Trebek the Canandian Ponce dragging your average down 😀
Erm...
There seems to be something lacking in the American Education system...
Canada was NOT a british Colony. At the time, a lot of canada was still unexplored (it IS bigger than the USA, you know) and the french had a colony here too (called quebec.)
In fact, mostly what we were at the time (English speakers anyway) was the Hudson's Bay company.
Regardless of whether we were technically in the commonwealth, we were still governed independantly and were, by all accounts, our own nation. Also, we broke out of the british commonwealth too, we just didn't need to kill anyone to do it.
I'm sure everything that was done in 'America' before the declaration of independance is still referred to as being done 'in america' and 'by americans.'
Anyway, the president of the United States, Maddison (not some settlers) decided that he was pretty big and wanted to invade Canada.
We didn't really like that too much.
Thing is, we treated the natives really well compared to you.
When faced with the prospect of becoming americans, the natives sided with us. You didn't quite count on that...
So we drove you back across the pond and took detroit and most of michigan (which we then gave back just to be nice-we didn't want eminem) and got on a boat and burned down your whitehouse...
But remember it however you want.
This story has a great relevance to today's US Foreign and internal policy. Look what native treatment did for you then.
Look what you're doing now is doing for you 😉

Scalping isn't a haircut. It removes the SCALP (duh) and, most of the time, the top part of the skull.
