At the end of the day, Canada is many things. But above all else, we’re a bunch of grudge holding motherfuckers. You’ve taken your shot at us, so now we won’t rest until we get you back.

      They have since upgraded the Whitehouse with fire-resistant materials, premise security, and anti-missile systems.

          I mean, wait a few more weeks…Trump, Musk and D.O.G.E will probably “efficiency” NORAD out of functionality, if not out of existence entirely.

        It’s such a shame Canada never saw the need to advance their military technology beyond muskets and smoothbores or they’d be able to do something anyways.

        Actually, a bunch of smoothbore cannons would still work, I think.

      As an American that lived in Canada for a few years.

      Yes. I mean, first of all it was over 200 years ago. And Americans aren’t generally great with history. Second, we don’t really think about it as Canadians. I was at least taught it was British troops, which is accurate, but I never really made the connection that it was really Canadians until I lived in Canada and a Canadian made the claim.

        Technically it was British troops. The people who burned down the White House sailed from Bermuda and never entered Canada. However, the bulk of the fighting during that war was done by Canadians, and it was Canadians that drove back the American invasion.
