[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes owners in Canada preferably Ontario

[Michael Meltzer]

The order of battle is a little different today, also always loved the ST. Johns harbor defenses that pointed inland, and you are 
being truly pompous, condescending and acting as in intellectual snob.

Mark,

As I'm sure you know, but Michael probably doesn't, what Americans call "The War of 1812" is better remembered in Canada as "The 
Invasion of Canada".  It did not go well for the United States, and resulted in the British burning down Washington, D.C.  It was 
started by a faction in the United States Congress known as the "War Hawks" who really wanted to attack the Indians so the Americans 
could take their land.  A handful of Canadians repeatedly repelled a much larger force of Americans.  The Americans had no plan. 
They expected to be greeted as liberators.  The separate Indian tribes were galvanized by the attack, and joined together to fight 
the westward expansion of the United States.

Ah, history.

Please don't encourage these guys to try it again.  They know not what they do.

You don't get it, do you? We really like elections in French. That way,
most of us don't understand anything the politicians are saying. Believe
me, it's much better that way.

By the way, if you are going to invade, you had better do it soon before
the Canadian dollar becomes worth more than yours! In fact, if you
attack before next week, you could get a lot more voters in the
election. It should only take about 15 minutes to take Canada - it is
cold now, and so most people are already in Florida.
