Kicked ass? You mean burning down the US White House in retribution of the USA burning down York, now known as Toronto? Is that what you are referring too?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star-Spangled_Banner has nothing about Canada in it. Nor did any of my history books.
Because if memory serves me correct, the Treaty of Ghent was signed due to the war of 1812 being a stalemate. A brand new country, stalemating a World Power. Let's not forget, it was the British, as was mentioned earlier. And if you are going misquote history, you might as well get it right, it was the British Navy who burned down the White House.
At least you were partly right, today MIGHT be a different story. It would take the US at least a day to take over Canada now.
