Canadians, not British, burned the White House?

Their Parliament building burned in 1916. It wasn’t the Germans.

Makes you go hmmm.....

Interesting. According to the article both plans, the Canadian in 1921 and the American one (cost $57 million in Depression Era 1930 dollars??!!), forecast a friendly reception and light casualties for the invaders.

A US-Britain war in the early 20th century would have been quite a mess. Of course, today, Canada and the UK have only tiny military forces.

We have fought six wars with Canada—more than we have with any other country. They are as follows:

The War of the League of Augsburg (1688-1697)

The War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714)

The War of the Aurstian Succession (1740-1748)

The Third Silesian War (1754-1763)

The War of the American Revolution (1775-1783)

The War of 1812 (1812-1815)

However, in four of those wars, we were English and Canada was French. In the final two, Canada was English.

We have made quite a few trips all over Canada, either hunting, fishing or just sight seeing. Canada is unbelievably beautiful but I am always amazed at how many Canadians hate the United States.

I have had some really rude snarky comments made to me up there. I am from Texas we don't treat visitors that way.

Actually the BEST PATH for Canada to invade the US is to work with the Mexican government to get a RINO elected that will open our southern border to millions of Mexican ‘refugees’ and then simply outvote us.

For some reason, I’m not going near this thread.
