This kinda relates to what Dave and I were discussing a while ago. He was
saying that unlike those awful Americans that resorted to violence, Canada
achieved its indpendence without firing a shot and had rebuffed joining the
Ameican revolution (presumably because they were so peaceful). My answer
was what happened in the year 1759 and that Americans hadn't just recently
stolen the country from the French and didn't need British military might to
keep what so recently had been stolen (we peacefully bought it later on -
and yes, I pointed out the trampling of the Indians by all involved).
