This blog will range all over the place, but mainly sticking to my brilliant thoughts that I decide to share about history---or as I tell it--The Truth According To Brian.

The War of 1812---sort of.
And the Canadian side: (Thanks to Abby my follower!)
Have you seen this Canadian PSA? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38BO7GI0vQQ
Sometimes links from Canadian youtube don't work, in which case, the video is called "War of 1812 - the Fight for Canada."
Also, there is one thing I'd like to correct in the video you posted: the wiki article is actually pretty awesome. I turned to it after a lot of confusing conversations with Canadians in which I was told "they won" the War of 1812 (the British? Canada wasn't a country yet? What?).
