Americans are still bitter about that whole 1812 thing...

I'm guessing I should follow the times posted up for US (As in, 0:00 GMT on the 31st, 1st and 2nd?)

Does someone want to clarify this?

Hey guys,

Corp vs Corp event does not prevent anyone from playing at any time on any match. This was just a schedule for EU / US convenience since timezone difference is rather big between those. Just make sure to get in quickly - there will be limited amount of games available in those 2x 1.5h timeframes! And remember, if you participated in the event, post in the corp vs corp feedback thread: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=33811&find=unread

Thank you!

But... its Canada, they got free medical D:
Wait do they still?

That's right.

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

Mexico no longer exists?

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.

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.

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?

BLAME CANADA

Please stop discussing polotics.... i get tired of flame wars about silly things like this, America Canada and the UK are extremely close allies these days, the past doesn't matter. In my opinion i can't stand to think of countries.... why can't people just get along and accept other peoples ways of life, religions, and cultures. <--- from a US American citizen. ( and no, im not fat XD )

Good points, Elijah. I am fat and American and was so sick of that RNC crap on tv last nite I opted to just test dust and reset my Playstation over and over and over

It's history not politics ;) But you're right, we should all get along.

Let's now move on with the "US chicks are the hottest" thread. From a canadian citizen.

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.

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.

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...
