Cheers to all the Canadian members...

 

Thanks, on top of that we are celebrating the war of 1812 this year. We say we won that one and you say you won it.

 

It's a Win Win situation Happy Canada Day!

 

Thank you John. A great long weekend of amazing weather to spend with family.

 

You didn't win anything. We went north to fight the british and the indian's. The canadain's just won't get out of the road. Rather then kill a bunch of them, most of which where america cowards who went north to avoid the war, we just went south and kicked the crap out of the british in the lower 48 states.

 

There were no "lower 48 states" in 1812. There were 17 on Jan 1 1812, then Louisiana joined in April ..........
( but the rest is probably factual :-) )

 

You just have to read up on this little skirmish.I believe the war was officially over when you won your last battle, no email in those days.LOL

I think we left Detroit in ruins, not much change there.

 

If neither gained didn't we both loose.

Happy Holiday(s)

 

I don't think the hearts of the Brits and Americans were ever really into killing each other. United through birth, religion and language.

 

Happy celebration...

 

Apparently it's such a controversy, I never knew there was one.

All I know is, the British still have bad teeth, no tans, and are contained to a small island with high petrol prices...

Canada has moose, maple syrup, bitter winters, and George St. Pierre... (in no particular order)

And the USA has tan women, moonshine, global warming, and year-round racing.

I have an oversimplified focus on the finer things in life, clearly.

 

I look at it differently.

The Brits have Jaguar, TVR, Rolls Royse, and Crossfire err I mean Bentleys. They have the better version of Top Gear, and they have a higher population of women to men.

We on the other hand have Chevrolet, Shelby, Cadillac, and Lincoln :/ We have Rutledge Woods, and California...

 

From your statement above I have concluded that your knowledge of American history is about on a par with your literary skills.
Graded F

 

Jaguars normally wouldn't start, the TVR was unable to be driven and the Bentfire is just a heavy Rolls.

Agreed, British Top Gear > USA Top Gear.

And while they may have more women than men, one must be generally successful with the lasses for that to matter much

Cadillac = Chevrolet with extra chrome... nothing to see here. Shelby is an icon, and world-renowned. Lincoln is on the $5 bill and used frequently. California = Mexico... they can have that back.

 

Correction, the Brits dont have any more cars. They now belong to India, and Germany.

 

We now have the Oil, so be nice or I will go to Fort McMurray and turn off the tap, and divert it to India and China

 

Actually no one won the war. But to say Canada invaded and destroyed Detroit, you need to open a history book. The city was undefended. Sort of like invading a wal-mart. However, at the end of the war, both sides occupied parts of the other's land, but these areas were restored by the Treaty of Ghent. So there was no winner. We all need to get over it. It was 200 years ago.

 

We got over it years ago, both sides have their own spin on it.
I think logic would say that if you invade a country and then agree to return to your own territory with nothing gained, by definition you lost.
History has repeated itself since.

 

This is my last comment on this post. Don't forget Canada also returned to their original borders after they invaded the states. So they also lost. Both sides lost. No one won!!

 

Happy 4 th 0f July
