      Happy to oblige, but respectfully I think we should let China, Guatemala, Indonesia, Cuba, the Congo, Dominican Republic, Peru, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lebanon, Grenada, Libya, Nicaragua, Iran, Panama, Iraq, Kuwait, Somalia, Bosnia, Sudan, Afghanistan and Serbia have a go at it first.

      (this is a list of countries the US has bombed since WW2)

    Lost opportunity … if they had just asked us Canadians, we could have burned or torn down the thing for free.

    Actually there is a very long list of countries that would have done it for free … even paid the US government for the privilege of doing it.

    This whole narrative about Canada burning down the WH is stupid shit.

    Canada didn’t even exist in 1812. People think it’s “funny” or “cute”. But, it’s still legit disinformation.

      Yup, prior to 1876, the Arctic Ocean extended all the way down to what is now the Canada-US border.

      That being said, it was British troops sent from Britain itself that burned the White House, as opposed to the British troops stationed in Canada. We all know that. No need to get your panties in a twist.
