Canada existed in 1812, we just weren't officially a country, and while it was largely the people of Canada who won the war, we weren't literally Canadians yet. We were mostly under British rule, and it was under the guidance of the Brits that we were ale to send the Americans running back home after their failed invasion. In fact we owe a large part of the thanks to the native population for us not being a part of that unstable shit heap of a country. The Americans were scared shitless of our injuns.
