Canada Won the War of 1812?

Doesn’t that phrase sound like it should be sung to the tune of “Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho”? Canada won the war of 1812, 1812, 1812…. But yeah, we’ve got a guy in town who thinks Canada did indeed win the War of 1812. He’s Canadian. And I kinda see where he’s coming from, to a point. He says that, had the United States won the War of 1812, we would control all of Canada, or at least Quebec and Ontario.

My primary problem with his argument is that Canada did not become independent until 1867, 55 years AFTER the war. So, like, they probably didn’t win the War of 1812. Yeah.

I guess that’s why the song hasn’t caught on.
