((wheeze)) Canadians use 1812 as a nationalist symbol? Like 80% of Americans don't even know what that is Canada. If I had to draw a representation of this it would be a guy decked out in Canadian flags jumping next to the giant boot of America like "we win we win!" I'm sorry as an American that reenactment clip is more ridiculous than North Korea's Squirrel and Hedgehog cartoon. .

Ugh, I hated the government's attempts to make 1812 a thing. Ditto for the Franklin expedition. Looking for particular events in history to define a group of people is probably a bad idea in general.
