You can't fool me Bob.
Been giving the who won question a little thought, and I think North

Actually there was a Canada back then. In fact there were two Canadas, Upper
Canada (what became Ontario) and Lower Canada (Quebec). Britain won British
North America in the aftermath of the Seven Years War. It was comprised of the
colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the two Canadas.

I'm pretty sure that if Canada had Sherman tanks in 1812, you guys
would have had a win rather than a draw.

It's little wonder that our War of 1812 is not remembered on your side of the
pond. As you said, Britain was far more concerned with what was going on in
Europe with Napoleon. Ours was little more than a local skirmish involving a
