That's the way I felt when the bears raided my portfolio.

Ah, yes, the primal feeling of one's tail tucked firmly between one's legs. <ng>

' Inhabitants of Canada .... The army under my command, has invaded your country, and the standard of UNION now waves over the territory of Canada. To the peaceable unoffending inhabitant, it brings neither danger nor difficulty. I come to find enemies, not to make them, I come to protect you, not to injure you.'

- the bullshit 'proclamation' of a 'General William Hull', 'brigadier-general and commanding officer of the Northwestern Army of the United States', 12 July 1812, in Sandwich, Lower Canada

' The acquisition of Canada this year, as far as the neighbourhood of Québec, will be a mere matter of marching, and will give us experience for the attack of Halifax, the next'

- Thomas Jefferson, 4 August 1812, in a letter to a Colonel William Duane

' Very little is known of the war of 1812, because the US lost it.'

- Eric Nicol, 1961, Vancouver, in his column [all quotes here from Colombo's Canadian Quotations, i gave on another thread Leacock as the author of the last, quite incorrectly]

It is absolutely amazing how ignorant is the average US national on this question, on how hard canadians had to fight to defend our freedom .... here is one of many examples - #reply-18267666 ... and my beginnings of a response - #reply-18267871

Other stuff getting lost over there -
'let's stop calling this 'war' ' - #reply-18262827
'get ... out of Guantánamo - #reply-18262796
'central fallacy of the pine lobby' - #reply-18248843
