What happened to actual discussion ?

Canada is part of the Commonwealth , which the Queen presides over . The Queen has a representative in each Commonwealth country , in ours , it's the Lieutenant Governor , however ,neither the LG nor the Queen sits in parliment .

 

I was not joking when I said my computer froze. It was like no one had ever asked to see that before on Google. It all locked up.

 

We usually win those too

 

Might be to many big wurds 4 U , but hear

So really.. your still not free from the British...

And we still own Fort Blunder..

 

Canada is a free country that is part of an association of countries know as the commonwealth .

You Americans need some new material .

 

OK, OK This made me laugh

"mostly because it's one of the only wars in the first 200 years of American History that didn't end with some red, white, and blue badass chomping on a half-eaten cigar while forcibly impaling a foreign military commander through the abdomen with a sharpened stake proudly displaying the Stars and Stripes Don't Tread on Me America Fuck Yeah Spangled Banner."

... But you still don't win, We were fighting the British, and the Indians. It is cute that you guys managed to form militia.

 

it's always fun to talk about the civil war!

 

HAHAHA!

 

Sorry, OZ, but I'm taking that!

 

Brock's situation wasn't good – he was being asked to defend Ontario and Quebec with seven forts, 1,000 British regular soldiers, and about 11,000 civilian militia (and, by Brock's estimation, only about 4,000 of those guys were "trustworthy" with a weapon), facing a modernized army that outnumbered him five to one. He asked for reinforcements from the Crown, and was told that Upper Canada was "undefensible", and that there was no point sending more troops. When Brock protested, his commanders told him to basically "just do whatever", hang back, turtle up, defend his position, and try not to let your inevitable crushing defeat seem too humiliating.

Fuck that. Brock went on the offensive. He built warships in the Great Lakes. He repaired crumbling defenses. He told the newspapers that if the Americans conquered Canada they'd sell the land to Napoleon, who would then come into town on a ship made out of the bones of dead English Kings and personally sodomize every single Canadian he could catch. He bought rifles from local traders. He required all Canadian men between 18 and 60 attend mandatory militia training.

 

LOL. Well, be that way.

I just don't want anyone accusing me of even the slightest inaccuracy. As a result, every message from this point on will be checked for accuracy by at least two related experts, then read (clarity, etc), reread, proofread (grammar, etc), and proofread once again. At that point only, it may be safe to post in this forum.

 

Thanks for the link. I dont always read about history but when I do I prefer it to be overflowing with curse words!

 

I thought is was a pretty funny take on it , lol

 

1.) Brock Was an English man. I would want nothing less from a Brit.
2.) He was killed by an American. In combat In New York

I do admit that was a British victory over the US. But we have lost a lot of battles to the brits. Never to the Canadians.

 

I don't think any intelligent person would dispute the fact that in 1812 , Canada was a colony under British rule .

You said you were only fighting British regulars and Indians , when in fact the Canadian militiamen outnumbered the British troops 4-11 to one , depending on how you interperet the story linked above .

 

i enjoyed it as well. reading some of the other articles now.

 

Foreskinner pm'ed me that link
