“As the anthem reminds us: the True North is indeed Strong and Free!”

Vive le Canada, and God Save the King. 🇨🇦

Weirdly, the War of 1812 is now a contemporarily relevant topic... so why not grab a copy of Revenge in the Name of Honour, all about how the British and colonial-Canadians experienced the war at sea. It's a Canadian topic, by a Canadian author. www.indigo.ca/en-ca/reveng...

Also WTF Amazon.... Only off by 301 years...

The Canadians recognized it: one, writing to a Nova Scotian paper, The Acadian Recorder, wrote that "a six pounder is not an army, no more is 450 men, except in our puny war..."

Today in history: in 1813, an American army, 8,000 strong, set on seizing Montreal, was soundly defeated by a British force of just 900, consisting of British regulars, Canadian militia (mainly French), and a dozen Mohawk warriors.
