Wasn't there some talk of the north invading Canada diring the 61-65 war of aggression ? I vaguely remember reading about that somewhere. What became of that ?

There was talk should there be war with Britain.

you're just lucky Napoleon escaped, otherwise you'd all spell 'honour' properly and have healthcare.

My favourite piece of War of 1812 trivia: Rear Admiral Cockburn ordered all Washington printing press letter 'C's destroyed so the yank 'rascals can have no further means of abusing my name'

*snigger* 'rear' 'cock-burn'

They always seem to forget that part . . . or when they do remember, then it was Britain, not Canada (it is only Canada when they win).

It warms my heart to no end to see my northern neighbors being as arrogantly bombastic and jingoistic, as too many of my fellow citizens. I sleep better at night knowing that humans are the same all over no matter what label they ended up with.

Yes Marc...in the end they are our brothers and sisters born of the same people and forged by the same world events and forever bound together like it or not...mostly I like it.

They can't talk about their own politics here. Almost noone south of the border KNOWS Canadian politics (aside from maybe the Mayor of Toronto)!

I may have to follow up my own idea and write a book on the American invasion of Canada..................a la Harry Turtledove. I have a feeling the Canadians might use the Russian tactic and rely heavily on General Winter. Any of you American or Canadian vets have any ideas I could throw in there ? And what years I could set it in ?

Read the Richard Rohmer series about US invasion over water and oil (Exxoneration is one) and of course, the good guys prevailed!

Thanks Tantriqu. I will look for those next time in the library.
I was thinking of setting it during the (Un) civil-war, when both sides would possibly have been more evenly matched and the Canadians would or could call on a whole lot more allies
