That's right.
CCP - How about using North America instead of US ? We're two whole, distinct countries in there.

Nobody really lost the War of 1812 except for the Natives, who were used and then the promises they got for helping were broken and they were cast aside. "Canada" didn't exist at the time, but the British colonial militia was a small minority of the British forces involved in the war. More significantly, no colonials took part in the Burning of Washington. The myth that "Canada burned down the White House" is just that. The Canadian government spending many millions commemorating this war is essentially just nationalistic propaganda. |

Many millions spent commemorating this war? What the heck are you talking about? How come I've never heard of this in 30 years of living in this country?

I meant to create a distinction between Canada and US, not be geographically correct about what North America is.

That's not correct, and it's not a myth. Canada did exist at the time, but not under the current constitution. You had Upper Canada and Lower Canada, and British Colonial forces were also accompanied by the French Canadian militia. US President Jefferson thought conquering Canada would be a mere formality and eventually ate his socks roasted, as the British forces burned to the ground every single major building in Washington DC on August 24 1814, including the Congress Library, the Treasury and the White House. |

They existed as regions. You might as well say that Canada fought New England, if you want to use regions as the defining participants of the war instead of countries. The fact is - our beef was not with the country of Canada, it was with the British Empire.
EDIT: Don't know if CCP changed it, but their thread does say North America, not US. |

Well, partly because the bicentennial is right now and not sometime up to 30 years ago, and partly because we've only had Dear Leader in charge for a short time. And I guess partly because you don't like to read the news.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2012/06/14/pol-war-of-1812-bicentennial-federal-events.html
We're spending more than $28 million commemorating this bullshit, meanwhile all sorts of good programs are being cut to save money. The Conservatives are a joke for a lot of reasons, but being the party of "fiscal responsibility" while they waste millions on 1812 nonsense and billions on fighter jets makes that particular line about them such an obvious lie. |

Canada did not exist as a unified entity until 1867. Before that it was simply the "British North America colonies", aka. "the Canadas". Afterward, the colonies were unified into an actual Dominion under the sovereignty of the British Empire.
And yes, British forces, from Britain, burned Washington. I just know many Canadians like to pretend that it was Canadians (British colonists) who did it, but not one was there. It was 100% people from Great Britain who did the deed.
I am very tired of this kind of chest-thumping. It's dumb enough we're glorifying a dumb war fought 200 years ago over nothing at all, even worse that we're pretending we played some decisive role. For the British it was a distraction from their actual war in Europe, for the Americans it was a tiny footnote in their long history of waging war. The only people who care are, ironically, the people least involved. |

You either don't live in ottawa or alberta, it seems all this money spent to commemorate the war is being spent in places where the main population is not |

I am a Canadian saying Canada's role in something is overstated. This isn't about UK vs. Canada or whatever. It's about Canadians being honest in the midst of terrible money-wasting by our own government to promote a lie. |

Holy ****!
I initially thought you meant the 1812 celebration was a yearly thing. I don't watch the news much and being from Qu+¬bec all that's on right now is about the provincial elections here. This is outrageous! $28 millions to commemorate a "war" against a friendly nation? We should be spending that money to strike it from the history books, lest the U.S. decide to wage their war on drugs up here... |
