Brock's victory at Detroit earned him the title of Saviour of Upper Canada. But the victory was short-lived, and Brock's final resting place was closer than expected.

“The #Trump administration is expected to invoke a sweeping
wartime authority to speed up the president’s mass deportation pledge in the coming days, according to four sources familiar with the discussions.”

#politics #Canada #trump #warof1812 #alt #humor This music video from 13 years ago but fits with Trump wanting to “tear up” the 1807 treaty. Madison’s similar threat resulted in the War of 1812. Our White House was burned. Not wanting that, it is “the peoples” house and the people who maintain it are lovely, but I think Mar a largo is available.

With a group name like "3 dead trolls in a baggie", they've got to be good..

"In 1812, we were just sittin' around
Mindin' our own business, puttin' crops into the ground
We heard the soldiers coming and we didn't like that sound
So we took a boat to Washington and burned it to the ground..."

This song came out many years ago.
Amazing...

‘I Am Without Fear’, mixed media (oil paint sticks and collage) 30” x 40”. Niagara was occupied by American troops for a short dreadful time during the War of 1812 and we live among the graveyards of the people who died defending Canada in that war - which we won. On Remembrance Day flags still fly on the graves of those veterans. We will stand up for our land. #canadianartist #tariffs #tradewar #warof1812 #art

I figured it was high time to revisit my original history project on the Anglo-American War of 1812, and while the timing may seem coincidental, that wasn't the case. But where did the war come from?
