On behalf of all Canadians... (Video enclosed)

Heh Heh

Oh Fletch.

Cheers,
Matt

lol

I always think its funny when the canadians take credit for that.

I have family that fought in this war, as well as the Battle of New Orleans and Chalmette battles in the 1800s.

Read and learn, canadians didnt do a damn thing.

when i was younger we used to get drunk and go chase ghosts in the woods on the old 1815 battle fields.

good times.

spooky places.

Hey Fletch,

I decide to go read and learn more, as I truthfully never looked into the matter of the Whitehouse being burned down in August of 1814... So I decide to check into it... I couldn't find any sources mentioning "Canadians" burned down the Whitehouse, though then I thought to myself, what/who were "Canadians" in 1814 ... and the only conclusion I can come to is to, for the most part, the British. So in essence, it was the Canadians who burned down the Whitehouse.

Matt

.. that does seem quite spooky... Did you actually see ghosts, or was that the 'alcohol' speaking?

Cheers,
Matt

Either way my family fought to kill you motherfuckers in the 1800s and defended New Orleans against you fuckheads.

Try that shit again.

i understand teen porn models also suck...........

nah its a very haunted place.

New orleans itself is very haunted. My family has been in the New Orleans area since the 1700's and have occupied the same area for a long time. My family owns plenty of land there and in school we used to go hang out on the battle fields at night, 'make out' spot type of thing where ya take girls ;)

but of course its haunted.

its across the street from the cemetary for soldiers.

So there are countless graves of soldiers dating back to the war of 1812, Veitnam, World War, 1, and 2, all buried there.

So they hang out.

*Yawn* Only Canadians would be insecure enough to bother with comparing themselves to Americans.

So you fought to be murderers and not free your people? And I think you need to realize "we" are not "them" ... quite a few generations have passed and cultures changed/evolved, etc.

And you should know we wouldn't do anything like that again, as the last apology said, we know what happens to people you don't like... ;)

Cheers,
Matt

What are you talking about?

Fight to be murderers? No my family defended New Orleans in the Battle of New Orleans and Chalmette battle, defeating you. and ultimately ending the war of 1812.

Some words:

<font size="1">

"Chalmette" takes its name from the Louisiana plantation where General Andrew Jackson led a collection of American militia, frontiersmen, Indians, Creoles, pirates, and Blacks in a stunning defeat of a larger, better trained and equipped British army in the Battle of New Orleans, January 1815. The details of the units and their commanders, the tactics, the phases of the conflict are clearly told, the various movements and maneuvers leading up to the battle, as well as the aftermath--jubilation in New Orleans and the United States, homeward sail for the stunned British, astonishment in Europe. The real significance of this victory, however, lies in the blocking of the British intent to wrest the Louisiana Purchase territory from the US and to control the Mississippi River, linking New Orleans and Canada in British hands. This dimension of the War of 1812 is told more clearly in Charles Patton's "Chalmette" than in most accounts of the Battle of New Orleans. Well researched and clearly presented in brief compass.'

'The Battle of New Orleans in 1814?1815, the last battle of the War of 1812, forever ended any attempt by England to regain control of the American Colonies, lost during the American Revolution, the War of Independence. It was here that General Andrew Jackson, and local volunteers, including Jean Lafitte (the pirate) and his men, defended the city from the invading British. The British troops were under the command of General Pakenham, who died in the final battle, January 8, 1815. Today, one can walk the ramparts, the recreated defenses extending from the Rodriguez Canal at the Mississippi River to what was then the tree line of the cypress swamp, at the northern end of the battlefield.'

this was fought 6 miles from where my family has lived since before 1810.

all the streets where I grew up, were named after people in this war, including my family name among streets in new Orleans.

I'm sorry people draw abritrary lines in the middle of a landmass and then make up a whole "us" and "them."

Me too. It should all just be Canada! j/k

Matt

probably a rumor...

You haven't seen Newark have you?

It actually has nothing to do with insecurity.

Cheers,
Matt

Seen? Not even heard of before......................

Cheers,
Matt

Well trust me... if you saw it the last thing you'd want is for Canada to have anything to do with owning it. Do yourselves a favor and stay up there where it's safe!

hey just so you know.

The guy who set the White House on fire is:

'Cockburn, Sir George, 1772?1853, British admiral. He served in the Mediterranean, and in the War of 1812 he participated in the Chesapeake Bay expeditions and in the burning of Washington. He conveyed Napoleon I in the Northumberland to St. Helena, remaining there as governor (1815?16).'

Heres the actual newspaper article.

Ahh.. Okay... Thanks for the advice.. It's nowhere near where you live hopefully?? Otherwise I'll be too scared to visit.. ;)

Cheers,
Matt

Yeah, cool, thanks. I came by his name too..

Cockburn ... "Ouch" is all I have to say..

Cheers,
Matt

just making sure you realize it wasnt canadians.

hahaha

or half hybrid canadians brits or whatever your theory was above. Upper Canadan and what is now Toronto were what we were going to take over which led to the war.

the brits stormed new orleans not the canadians.

i used to have to sit through lecture after lecture on this and all the battles that took place there, heheh.

in addition to 'history' class, i grew up with 5 hours of 'Louisian History' every week as well, almost an hour a day just like any other class.

anyway, im going out with friends, later.

Actually it's where your plane lands. => Also the reason people think New Jersey is a shit-hole because they only see the run from the airport to NYC usually. It'd be like if you whole opinion of California was based on East LA.

lmao

British are Canadian though........... ! ;)

Have a good time..

Matt
