Happy Canada Day

Well, we actually did invade Canada - up to four times, depending on how you're counting it - the biggest one in 1775 resulted in us getting our asses beat & pretty much a shutting off U. S. Expansion into Canada forever.

Way to go Canada, you're actually anywhere from 1-0 to 4-0 against us!

The 1775 Battle of Quebec was part of the revolutionary war and like most of the battles of that time frame we got our asses kicked by the British forces. I’m not sure if the Canadians themselves had much to do with it.

 

Not so fast there!  Actually, about 500 French-Canadians were chief in securing Quebec's walls and city and largely due to this Gen. Carleton was free to pursue the American pincer attack before it got going, completely destroy Montgomery's assault, and was able to pursue Arnold back through the city.  It was a rout, and the Canadians had a big part of it.  They made up almost half of the 1,200 troops on their side.  Of course some Canadians fought with the Americans, but not as many (about 200 of roughly the same sized force).

Of course Canada as we know it didn't come into existence yet (that didn't happen until almost 100 years later, when the Brits were finally kicked out of North America) but at that time, Canada was regarded as a separate entity, with its own native peoples, under British rule.  So yeah, they kicked our asses New Year's Eve 1775.  There were certainly enough non-Brit Canadians to qualify.

It would still piss me off, but generally they have hot curling chicks.

Those girls are WAY too tan to be authentic Canadians.
