Canadian folk song about 1812

Our original baptism in blood. Dont listen to Harper who says that didnt happen till WW1. May this be an inspiration to all the people of the world who continue to suffer from American military aggression.

Gotta love how the German Royals who control the British Empire, convinced Canadians to think there was something noble about becoming cannon fodder for the King.

Pretty much every European royal family is mostly German by blood. The reason for this being that until the late 1800s there was no such thing as "German" as there were many kingdoms in the region that didnt consider themselves the same people. All the royal families intermarried for diplomatic relations and the majority of the families were what we now call German. Im guessing the cannon fodder thing is about a separate conflict? I cant think of a more noble war than one that stops an aggressor from invading your home.

The Swedish royal family is quite German.

The cannon fodder comment was in regards to the image on the video thumbnail. A bunch of redcoats flying the Union Jack. I have no knowledge of Canada's history, who tried to invade them?

LOL, the people that can't even defeat Vietnam or Afghanistan?

It doesn't surprise me that Canada won.

'Defeat' means something different to the public than it does to the war-makers. Some of those 'wars' imo were never really meant to be 'won'.

Indeed. The public is always defeated.
