But they did it from what eventually became Canada. Spoiling a good joke on a mere little 55 year technicality. ;-) Ian.

TOP 10 REASONS FOR BEING CANADIAN : 1. It beats being an American 2. Only country to successfully invade the US and burn its capital to the ground. The Canadians did not do that. It was done by the English in the War of 1812. Actually, it was the Fenians, a people of Irish background, living in Upper Canada at the time. Cheers, PW. P.S. British military strategy: Hope the enemy runs out of ammunition before we run out of Canadians. Employed (sucessfully) in several conflicts. P.P.S. Canadians don't need to invade. We can wait for the current path of self destruction to reach its conclusion.
