No fucking happy Canada day??? Scrue you all Euro lovin colony hating bastards. I'm not mad at the Americans though, cuz 200 years ago they got their asses kicked. And kicked again. By a bunch of voltigeurs and some indians and some brits that weren't worthy to fight Napolean. Yeah, they're fucking proud of the fact they won the battle of New Orleans, but WTF? This was an invasion of Canada. New Orleans, for all you non-NAers, is way the fuck south east of Canada. Ben Franklin said 'it would just be a matter of marching'. Not when you have trained british regulars, french voltigeurs who just hate being assimilated, and indians who just didn't like being massacred*. Every battle on Canadian soil was won by uept for one, but that was unfair cuz the americans held their ground after the first volley and no one was expecting that. 2 km up river they got their asses kicked.
*sorry to all natives- the deal was if we won, you'd have your land, if we lost, you'd be massacred. Unfortunately, the war weary brits called it a tie, despite the fact washington was sacked and the fighting was down in Loiusianna, but they didn't care; NA was far, far away from Napolean. So you got fuck all, just a polite nod and a promise of a deal when we took over your lands. Oops, silly us
Might be off topic and in the wrojng thread, but that's ok, I'm drunk. Happy Canada day all (-2 hours in Vancouver).
