@atomicpoet I don't think Canada would be Canada with so many Americans. We don't have the same history with slavery, the Spanish, etc. The war also seemed to separate the "you can't make us, we'll point our guns" crowd. Every time there has been a war, more of them have moved up here. I have friends who were part of Vietnam, Bush, and Spanky exoduses.

Which doesn't mean that the British didn't really suck. But we just did things differently here.
