I'll hold out for a Battle of New Orleans coin myself :P

... but you'll have to settle for a "burning of Washington" one.  :D

I like the 1kg King George one. That will make for fine trade goods when the SHTF.

Its also overpriced by around 15000 CAN Dollars.

You guys should watch "Explosion 1812". This is very nice piece of propaganda.  The intro gives it all: 1812, the explosion that changed the world.

Well it did kinda.  At least NOrth America.  But I will check it out.

I guess I find the whole idea of insidious War of 1812 propaganda so ridiculous to be sorta humorous but who knows.

Did it really?  A US conquest of Canada would have disasterous effects on the people living there, but I always felt that the conquest of the central part of North America was pretty much inevitable.  Who was going to stand up to a power as strong and aggressive as the US?

It may or may not have been inevitable but the War of 1812 is when it happened.  Alot of Indian Nations went down in that war and it ended forever the dream of booting the Brits out of Canada.

How could it be anything but inevitable?  The US had a huge, growing population whose ideology required free land, which could legitimately be taken from inferior races?

Man, talking about the old US sure makes it sound bad. :lol:

Tomorrow, we vote.


Yes let`s remember that, rather than derailing this thread with pointless debates about forgotten wars.

As things stands the PQ will win and quite possibly with a majority.

All hail the 1st female Prime Minister in our history!

The war changed North America, no doubt.  A single accidental explosion in York did not change the face of the world.  And I disagree with their assessment that America served a sucker punch to Great Britain while they were fighting for their survival against the relentless assaults of Napoleon.
