Help! Extremist Canadian kidnappers FORCED me to post this!

This video was posted under duress after I was threatened by Krupo, Zifnab, Fedquip, therealblankman, Sarzy, calvados, fissionchips and other wild-eyed radical Canucks. They said if I didn't do it they were going to make me watch this. Forgive me, my fellow Americans.

So it was the Canadians that did all that and not the British?

Also...
From wikipedia:
The Canadian colonies were thinly populated and only lightly defended by the British Army. Some Americans believed that many in Upper Canada would rise up and greet a United States invading army as liberators. The combination suggested an easy conquest, as former president Thomas Jefferson seemed to believe in 1812, "the acquisition of Canada this year, as far as the neighbourhood of Quebec, will be a mere matter of marching, and will give us the experience for the attack on Halifax, the next and final expulsion of England from the American continent."

I guess the U.S has a long and rich history of underestimating and poorly planning foreign conflicts. Dubya is just upholding a time honored American tradition.
