Did the Canadians have something to do with burning down the White House in 1812. This is news to me. Wasn't this the British navy that was responsible. Technically speaking it was Upper Canada, at the time a colony of Britain. Canada is another dismal failure of post-Colonization. Paul

Brian, Did the Canadians have something to do with burning down the White House in 1812. This is news to me. Wasn't this the British navy that was responsible. Canada was a British Colony at the time. For your information, Canada didn't become a country until 1867. If you have ever been in Ottawa (the capital city of Canada) on the anniversary of burning down the White House, you'd swear it was a national holiday. Only two nights ago, I saw a televised news brief showing a Canadian politician referring to her US neighbors as "those American bastards". With friends like Canada, who needs enemies? Its bad enough that Canada dumps lumber into the US. Its high time America put a $20/barrel tariff on Canadian oil exports to America.
