technically it was the Brits. but Canadian Militia men were involved as well. And the British soldiers who did burn down the WH, most stayed in Canada and tehre family was born into Canada throughout our confederation. Its like saying the American War for Independence was fought by brits not americans. because technically you were still british subjects while fighting.

Not militarily or economically though.. Just geographically

Yes, there was a Grand Canadian Army and The President of Canada send the troops into America bravely flying the maple leaf, because Britain had granted Canada full independence in 67 BC and President Madison fled while proud noble Canadian troops were ransacking Washington

I guess Canadians need some self-esteem by stealing a victory from the British. I can understand that :lol:

The burning of the white house and defeat of the United States was completed by the union of Canada under the status of a commonwealth nation. The populous was distinct and not British, yet it was an extended nation with ties to Britain which were extinguished some years later. The actual campaign against the Americans was completed by the Native contingent, militia forces born within Canada, and British regiments stationed in Canada. The British contingent soon left as Canada was becoming self sufficient and the nation had become too expensive for England, pushing for a Canadian sovereign state. Nonetheless, those that were engaged in combat were predominately born within Canada, and successfully defended Canada against the Yankees.

Sorry. I don't see any country as a country unless they declare their own independence from their mother country. You don't see me call "United States" a United States before 1776.

Yeah. United States was a "powerful" nation in 1812 except we had no national credits and debts from the previous war up to our throat. No Navy and 4000 men military

But on the bright side we had the balls to fight against the most powerful country on earth in 1776 and claimed our independence.

England only let the colonists win the conflict because the funds needed to sustain the war were too great. England was not prepared to put in a lot of money into a nation which was not that profitable. Their holdings in the Dutch East Indies, Canada, and India were far more advantageous. Besides, why would England want to keep a war torn nation full of 'traitors'? They LET you have it.

In 1812, Canada was far less developed than the post war America; our population on top of that was miniscule, yet we still were victorious.

Most major battles during the Amer. Rev were won by the Brits. Keeping the conflict going was a matter of pride and economic gain. When the war proved to be too expensive, and the economic factors considered, continuing a long drawn out conflict was not worth it. But whatever helps you sleep at night sweetheart!

Because American manifest destiny and paranoia led to Canada being invaded by America, and in-turn was defeated by its Canadian 'colonists'.

Ok, well, a unified nation didn’t kick your ass if you so choose, but a bunch of rag-tad 'colonists'. I think that’s far more embarrassing.

Yeah. United States was a "powerful" nation in 1812. rofl I'm really impress with "Canada" in 1812 when they got all the money and manpower from Britain to fight "Canada's" war

But on the bright side we had the balls to fight against the most powerful country on earth in 1776 and claimed our independence.

England only let the colonists win the conflict because the funds needed to sustain the war were too great. England was not prepared to put in a lot of money into a nation which was not that profitable. Their holdings in the Dutch East Indies, Canada, and India were far more advantageous. Besides, why would England want to keep a war torn nation full of 'traitors'? They LET you have it.

In 1812, Canada was far less developed than the post war America; our population on top of that was miniscule, yet we still were victorious. In 1812, Canada was far less developed than the post war America; our population on top of that was miniscule, yet we still were victorious. The actual fighting was diversified among natural born Canadians and effective guerilla warfare natives. Canadians SERVED in the British military as well.

UK realized they could not win after they got their ass their ass whop by the Americans in Bunker Hill, Trenton, Princeton and Saratoga.

UK even realized more after the French got involved after those 4 battles

Most major battles during the Amer. Rev were won by the Brits. Keeping the conflict going was a matter of pride and economic gain. When the war proved to be too expensive, and the economic factors considered, continuing a long drawn out conflict was not worth it. But whatever helps you sleep at night sweetheart!

Example?

Then why the hell UK still have red coats troops lurking in Ohio Valley after the war? Why do you think the war of 1812 started in the first place?

Because American manifest destiny and paranoia led to Canada being invaded by America, and in-turn was defeated by its Canadian 'colonists'.

Yeah. When you are red coats and His Majesty's troops

4)Only country to successfully invade the US and burn its capital to the ground.
5)Where else can you travel 1000 miles over fresh water in a canoe?
6)A political leader can admit to smoking pot and his/her popularity ratings will rise.
7)Only country to successfully invade the US and burn its capital to the ground.
8)Kill Grizzly bears with huge f*** shotguns and cover your house in their skins
9)Own-an-eskimo scheme.
10)Only country to successfully invade the US and burn its capital to the ground woot woot

It was the red coat British. How could Canadians burned down the White House when Canada wasn't even a country in 1812?
technically it was the Brits. but Canadian Militia men were involved as well. And the British soldiers who did burn down the WH, most stayed in Canada and tehre family was born into Canada throughout our confederation. Its like saying the American War for Independence was fought by brits not americans. because technically you were still british subjects while fighting.

Wrong. "Americans" were refer to as colonists before 1776 (Declaration of Independence).

So were canadians. "Les Colons" ... what do you think they are.

Here is a truly Canadian, tongue in cheek apology, courtesy of Rick Mercer from This Hour Has 22 Minutes.

On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and, for that, I am truly sorry.

I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron.

He is a moron but, it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.

I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.

I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defense I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.

I'm sorry we burnt down your white house during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's Very Nice. rofl rofl rofl

I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer but, we Feel your Pain. [Ed: Hah! Pot, meet kettle.]

I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you wanna have your friends by your side.

I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.

And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.

Thank you. rofl rofl rofl

While the United States government was concentrating on the defences hundereds of miles away on it's northern border it neglected matters closer to home.

In the late summer of 1814 a British fleet was sent into Chesapeake Bay to make a deversionary attack against Washington and Baltimore.

When the lead British ships appeared in Chesapeake Bay in August 1814 the Americans had no idea where they were headed or what their intentions were. The British sailed up the Patuxent River and moved ashore a force of nearly five thousand crack troops fresh from the battle fields of Europe.

While there may very well have been Canadian "militia" units there I somehow doubt that the British regulars needed the assistance or would have even treated them as equals. So it's rather a moot point.

Canadians participated in the war, even if Canada wasnt its own State.

The Canadians were the only people you could call winners out of the War of 1812 because it gave them a sense of patriotism. However almost half the forces defending were British and Native American.

If I am not mistaken Hull was almost executed for his pathetic performance in the first invasion attempt. The second attempt was a pretty even match about 1600 US soldiers managed to make it to the front line facing around 1300 Canadian/Native American/British troops. In the third attempt we had our ass whooped even though we outnumbered them 20:1.

Totally false if you go to south America you will see that all their unhabitans are American Indians, is not the case in North America(they are all dead)
2)The rest of Europe thinks Africa begins at the Pyrenees
Only Americans and Brits think that

Well that's the case for France
4)The rest of your country is already invaded by Moroccans
Whant do you mean
5)Everybody else makes crap paella and claims it's the real thing
6)Honesty
7)Only sure way of bedding a woman is to dress up in stupid, tight clothes and risk your life in front of bulls

The Viet Cong were not part of the NVA, they were their own organization, with their own structure. They were the proxie fighters for the NVA, just like the Northern Alliance was to the Americans.

Would you say that the Uzbek, Tajik and Hazara Northern Alliance was a part of the US Army, ofcourse not. Were they America's proxie infantry, yes.

It is well documented what the Spanish did to South America through the 15th -18th centuries. And besides, cant u see this as a joke. And bro, ive been to spain, most spanish chicks go after the British guys, especially in the coastal british enclaves.

Hessians were just one of many groups of Germanic peoples in the former Holy Roman Empire. Learn your history.

I'm really impress with "Canada" in 1812 when they got all the money and manpower from Britain to fight "Canada's" war *clap clap*


http://www.chatitaliachat.it/serpe/humor/191.gif


um....seeing how Canada was a British Colony and it wasnt British manpower that fought in the war of 1812 cuz the majority of the Royal Army was in Europe fighting Napolean. The people in the war of 1812 were like Newfy's, Canadian Militia, Natives etc.

It's so sad.
So many Canadians go on about how much better Canada is than the US but they fail to realize they got nothing goin on for em..
US is the worlds superpower and is the most influential country in the world, it's also done a lot more to help the world than Canada ever has.

The US has everything whereas Canada has nothing so they make a bunch of **** up or fine trivial bull**** to poke fun at to try and feel important

Why do you compare our two nations all the time? ARe that friggin GAY? ITs like arguing that COke has nothing on Pepsi, dude shut the fuk up, cuz Canada could've whipped our ass in early 1900's so stop being soo ignorant.

And there Health Care/Education is way better then ours dumbass, soo stop talkin smack if you cant back it up fagget.


US is the worlds superpower and is the most influential country

Joe is right I always read in the history books that the Brits came from the bay and burned down the white house. I never heard of Canadians doing it untill I read this thread. Can someone send a link somewhere saying Canadians marched down from Canada all the way to D.C. and burned it down cause I never even heard of that.

Yeah, but spanisd did the same too in NorthAmerica, only that northern tribes seemed to be softer than araucanos and mapuches of southamerica, that´s my explanation why there´re so many indians in SAmerica, and "bro", we spanish are too southamericans, in a way you wouldn´t understand.
Regarding the "coastal british enclaves", there ins´t such a thing in Spain except if you´re talking of places like Magaluf in Mallorca and so, but I´d say they´re more like a ghetto and not exactly a cool place for having fun. I´m sure you´ve never been in Spain nor you know about "guiris" and other strange fauna eventually in Spain. I´m afraid spanish chicks when are hungry eat everybody they want, and british, as a genre, aren´t 1º nor 2º place in their rank even if they wear a torero trouser, italians guys are Top of the Rank traditionally in spanish girls hearts, I don´t know what in the hell those xx#tini give to our girls :bash:, but things are like this, the strange of the case is that italians girls aren´t the nº1 in the list of spanish guys preferences.

Definiton of Canada:

Apparently its history starts with the word kanata, which in Huron (an Iroquoian language of eastern Canada) meant “village.” Jacques Cartier, the early French explorer, picked up the word and used it to refer to the land around his settlement, now part of Quebec City. By the 18th century it referred to all of New France, which extended from the St. Lawrence River to the Great Lakes and down into what is now the American Midwest. In 1759, the British conquered New France and used the name Quebec for the colony north of the St. Lawrence River, and Canada for the rest of the territory. Eventually, as the territory increased in size and the present arrangement of the provinces developed, Canada applied to all the land north of the United States and east of Alaska.

So the climate change was/is now exclusive to France? I'm curious how the Spaniards, Dutch, Belgians, etc. fared during this heatwave. With your superior healthcare, why wasnt anything done?

now it's true that was a number of deaths amongs old persons very high, and a big reform followed, and too late

but the climate was exceptionnally hot that year, I don't know what it was for the countries around, but I can tell you that the summer 2003 in France has been the more hot since the last 150 years

now this is also a question of probability and numbers, and as u missed, the average age of death among old persons has increased the months after

Ten Reasons...

TOP 10 REASONS FOR BEING FRENCH
2)Yet to experience the joy of winning the world cup for the first time.
Of which sport are you talking about?? Zinedine Zidane is french, and a world and european and ...champion. Frenchs don´t deserve Zizou being french. :(
3)You get to eat insect food like snails and frog's legs
And horse beef steaks, and liver of tortured ducks and other nice things mother nature gave to men. :) I´m hungry!
6)You can test your own nuclear weapons in other people's countries
Yep, they aren´t the only ones :backhand:
10)People think you're a great lover even when you're not
If it´s like this, it´s a true reason for being french, I envy frenchs. :)

TOP 10 REASONS FOR BEING AMERICAN
1)You can have a woman president without electing her
Is Lady Laura Bush the president of the United States of America?? At least, I like her name.
2)You can spell colour wrong and get away with it
And you can spell wrong too "potatoe" :) ...ehh potata? or pototoe, patota? patita?? Mr Quayle, heeeelp mee!woot
4)You can be a crook and still be president
...(not only in USA) :roll:
5)If you've got enough money you can get elected to do anything
...(not only in USA) :roll:
6)If you can breathe you can get a gun
...(only in USA) :roll:
7)You can invent a new public holiday every year
In my country too woot . What´s wrong with that?
9)You get to call everyone you've never met "buddy"
Change "buddy" for "tío", the same here, I don´t know if it really likes me :roll:
10)You can think you're the greatest nation on earth.
My country too. ;)
11)When you're not.
we aren´t :oops: ...But does it matter? ;)
12)At all.
We were the greatest nation on earth at all. ;)

TOP 10 REASONS FOR BEING ENGLISH
1)Two World Wars and One World Cup doo-dah doo-dah
:roll: Almost half of the world won 2 WORLD wars. And the one WCup, umm, I´ve seen that match recorded and I think english victory is so fake as the first goal of Maradona to England in 1986. Anyway, beautiful match.
2)Warm beer
And cold too woot . What I don´t understand is why english drink so much beer and usually foreign beer. And I´ll add to the warm beer, chocolate of 1000 differents sizes, shapes and varieties.
4)You get to accept defeat graciously in major sporting events
Stereotypes. English usually don´t accept "graciously" defeats in major sporting events.
7)You can live in the past and imagine you are still a world power.
(...not only english suffer of that illness :roll:)

TOP 10 REASONS FOR BEING ITALIAN
2)Unembarrassed to wear fur.
Russians too, I wonder why? :D
8)Live near the Pope
It´s said it helps you to go to heaven. ;)
9)Can spend hours braiding girlfriend's armpit hair
naaa...stereotype. Nordic girls are more hairy than italians, anyway both vikings and italians girls are cutes.
10)Country run by Sicilian murderers
Sicilian murderers don´t rule only Italy, Mr. Corleone usually lives near Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA, I know, I´ve seen him in an american movie and american movies always tell the truth.

TOP 10 REASONS FOR BEING SPANISH
1)Glorious history of killing South American tribes
As I said before, we the spanish not only killed south american tribes, but we killed too central and north american tribes, millions of deaths in less than 100 years with less than 20.000 spanish. Is well documented, we wrote the documents, and what´s the point? Aren´t we greats??? And we killed too thousands and thousands of hateful heathens from Netherlands, France, English, Germany and Turks. I really miss the good ole times, I´m thinking in asking for an american passport because I´d like doing the same that Grandpa. I love the smell of napalm.. p-)
2)The rest of Europe thinks Africa begins at the Pyrenees
Yeah! I think it was Alexander Dumas what discoverd our geographic situation. We are the most developped and interesting country of Africa continent, and the first and only african country in joining the European Union and conquering europe and america ;)
3)You get your beaches invaded by Germans, Danes, Brits etc
And we fight feeding them with rotten paellas and sangrías exclusively for tourist. They pay for being poisoned! strange people, btw.
4)The rest of your country is already invaded by Moroccans
If not, they are coming again. But they don´t pay for being poisoned, that´s a real problem!
5)Everybody else makes crap paella and claims it's the real thing
Comme on, buddy, you can´t pretend eating good food paying only 15 euros near the beach for filling your belly with soap, paella, and icecream plus 5 liters of sangría and asking for a bag for keeping the overplus food for the supper at your hotel room. You never were a gourmet at home, were you? :backhand:
6)Honesty
Sarcastic??? :roll: (umm, a secret: we don´t think we´re specially honest to be sincere, but when we compare ourselves with our neighbours at the north, east, south and west, , something we usually do at least one hour daily, we really feel good: we are basically a honest people ;) )
7)Only sure way of bedding a woman is to dress up in stupid, tight clothes and risk your life in front of bulls
It´s sure if you´re a torero, you´ll have every woman you want: leftiest chicks, righteous ladies, hippies, the PET president...sadly, I´m not a torero :(. But even so, certainly you don´t need to wear toreros trousers if a spanish girl likes you, you´ll be hunted without mercy. The one who wrote point nº7 it´s sure he´s ugly. p-)
8)You get to eat bulls' ********sLook points 3 and 5. Why in the hell would we eat bull´s balls when we can eat the bull´s beef steaks??? rofl
9)Gibraltar
And what? Gibraltar is shut by a wall and we have the kee. p-)
10)Supported Argentina in Falklands War.
Certainly not, the result would be other quite different.

TOP 10 REASONS FOR BEING WELSH
1)You've got to be having a laugh, haven't you?!?!?!?
Catherine Z Jones is welsh, I´m at your service, lady. :hug:
http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:LYEFOJ3f-XYJ:cathezjones.tripod.com/fondo.jpg
JB Toshack is welsh too, he´s very fond of whiskey, any relation between his name and drinking?, and Richard Burton was too, any relation?? BTW, they aren´t mediocres guys.

TOP 10 REASONS FOR BEING IRISH
1)Guinness
2)18 children becuase you can't use contraceptives
3)You can get into a fight just by marching down someone's road
4)Pubs never close
5)Can use Papal edicts on contraception passed in the second Vatican Council of 1968 to persuade your girlfriend that you can't have *** with a condom on.
6)No one can ever remember the night before
7)Kill people you don't agree with
8)Stew
9)More Guiness
10)Eating stew and drinking guinness in an Irish pub at 3 in the morning after a bout of sectarian violence.
I know many people like that across all europe! Are considered irish those ugly people living in Ireland who likes marching and despising and threatening and killing only when they are many wearing ridicule hats? :slap:
Regarding that issue of the condoms and the 18 sons, are they really like this? I spent a summer in Eire with an irish family, but I hadn´t problems of this kind, I was only a boy. It was a good summer.

TOP 10 REASONS FOR BEING CANADIAN
1)It beats being an American.
2)Only country to successfully invade the US and burn its capital to the ground.
4)Only country to successfully invade the US and burn its capital to the ground.
7)Only country to successfully invade the US and burn its capital to the ground.
10)Only country to successfully invade the US and burn its capital to the ground
