Donald Trump is one ignorant man

Just saying we hear about slavery every time we turn around, but can’t talk about other stuff that happened long long time ago

An allusion to a Colonial Canada-based British attack on Washington during the War of 1812 as evidence of a Canadian national security threat to the United States in 2018 is, forgive me, more than “slightly off.”:2razz:

Someone said it was evidence of a "Canadian national security threat to the United States?"

Who?

One or many can, in their ignorance, claim and/or celebrate all shorts of things, but what one claims/celebrates has no bearing on what actually transpired in history's course.

Accordingly, what Canadians celebrate and don't celebrate is irrelevant to the point that Canadians didn't burn down the White House in the War of 1812: )

1800 Map of North America -- Notice that the country name "Canada" does not appear on it.

There's a reason no place on the map is called "Canada." Canada was founded until 1867! Prior to that it was variously a province of France and Britain[/URL].

As I read through this -- one thing struck me -- switch areas in the world and your argument is identical to those who claim there's no such place on the map as Palestine.

Funny that.

I suppose some folks may see it that way; however I do not. I do not because:
  • I stated that Canada didn't exist as a place or as a country in 1812, and the fact of the matter is that it did not.
  • The "Palestine deniers" assert there was never a place called Palestine, yet as the 17th century map image below indicates there was most certainly a place called Palestine. (See also/instead: "The Concept of Palestine: The Conception Of Palestine from the Late Bronze Age to the Modern Period" or just read the footnoted documents on the Wikipedia page about Palestine's tenure in history.)

What I can’t figure out is this claim he graduated from an Ivy League university. This guy is not only woefully ignorant of basic facts in history, science, or any other subject, he can’t even construct a coherent sentence, hold a line of thought for more than than a few seconds, or even spell. How anyone eve let him into any college, let alone an Ivy League one, let alone let him graduate from one, is baffling. There is no other explanation other than that his dad must have paid someone off.

They do, they celebrate it even.

It was British in Canada at the time who burned it.

Trump was slightly off -- but so were a lot of the media commentators. LOL

Actually the attack on Washington in 1814 didnt come from Canada but came from th eBritish navy using British regular forces.
Rear Admiral George Cockburn had commanded the squadron in Chesapeake Bay since the previous year. On June 25 he wrote to Cochrane stressing that the defenses there were weak, and he felt that several major cities were vulnerable to attack.[6] Cochrane suggested attacking Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia. On July 17, Cockburn recommended Washington as the target, because of the comparative ease of attacking the national capital and "the greater political effect likely to result".[7] General Ross commanded a 4,500-man army, composed of the 4th (King's Own) Light, 21st Royal North British Fusiliers, 44th (East Essex) Regiment of Foot, and 85th Regiment of Foot.

Canadians do celebrate winning the war of 1812 however.
