Yes, you Canadians did try to kill all us Americans.

All your pyromaniac tendencies came out and you burned down our White House.

Did we ever try to burn down the seat of your government?

No.

We never burned down your hockey rink in Ottowa.

You never heard of the burning of York?

I’ll give you a hint.

York (present-day Toronto), the capital of the province of Upper Canada (present-day Ontario), during the War of 1812.

You misunderstood, I was saying Americans tried to wipe out portions of their native population.

FWIW, I will apologize for that event. Many Canadians are still Tories, also known as, Royalists, and it is likely PART of what causes animosity between Canadians and Americans. Especially considering a large portion of loyalists came to Canada after the revolution.

Also FWIW, my family came to Canada LONG after those events. Fathers side in the early 1900s from Italy and Belgium, mother's side probably around the same time from the British Isles.
