Secret invasion plan of Britain unveiled

Canada wasn't even a country at the time, it was Britain, and even then you failed more than half your objectives in 1812, and you Canadians still brag about that war constantly. I see you are wearing your lets be a jerk hat. I was making fun haha you know, or are you so bitter it don't matter? lol Yes we were British back then and we are still today, so when can I come by and knock you off that horse. We still have the Queen on our money so ummm What wars do you brag about LOL Not many I bet

The small pox blanket story is revisionist history. The British did that. Not in our case. We fought for the British.

The Americans were too weak during their 18th century revolution to ever ponder invading Britain. I'm an American, so I'm not speaking out of turn. We simply were too weak.
