@@economicallyunviablekitten Then Canada gave the world plenty reasons to invent rules for warfare, which they promptly ignored first chance they got. They say don't provoke the bear, but polar-bears are entirely different...
@@innocentbystander3317 yeah, then the US made multinational (world leaders) conflicts near impossible without the definite extinction of the human race. why even derail the convo like this? it’s not a dick measuring contest.

You know, i only found out THIS YEAR about the whole thing where the colonies thought Canada would “most definitely” join in on the rebellion? This video isnt ENTIRELY correct, but its certainly close enough to be humorous… though it might have been more accurate to have the us go “canada! Join in!” Multiple times while canada says no lol
I actually remember laughing when i got to that part of my textbook, now that i think about it. Theres something hilarious about them invading canada “for liberation purposes” and expecting the canadians to “rise up and join us!” Only for them to go “no thanks”.
The short doesn't tell you that Great Britain actually also tried to buy Alaska. And they offered more money than the US, Russia still decided to sell to the US. For 7.2 million Dollars.
@@GojiMasterZ really beating that dead horse arent we? Not that i care since they owe the people, but do you all not have anything else to say? If you dont cha ge ot up once in a while it becomes stale.
@@GojiMasterZ it's a missing letter, which just happens to be N which is right above space, and I'm on my phone with autocorrect off, but of course you wouldnt be able to figure that out. Its quite common for simpletons to repeat the same lousy lines, while still believing they're funny.
Most of canada is same temperature as northern usa, well for where people live anyway. 70% or so live on usa borders, with many living below the northern most usa point(not counting Alaska, I mean the main continental 48).
When the spray bottle sound came on I jerked my head around and jumped because I thought someone somehow come up to my bed without me noticing and making that noise 😭😭 (I had headphones on and the sound came loudly from only the left side of the headphones)
There is a ton of science fiction written by Americans where they have Canada become part of the US. I guess it's a wish fulfillment thing . . . which kind of shows us the basic assholery of the American mindset.
@@Plz083 the in game newspaper I'm thinking of was actually in reference to that war/annexation. It was an announcement of the war and the goal of annexation that read something along the lines of "Canada to be Annexed! Though let's face it: Canada was always America's backyard anyway." *Edit:* I looked it up and I was wrong about the quote. Might be merging memories with something else but a similar quote was made: The newspaper was an issue of the Capital Post with the headline "U.S. to Annex Canada!" and the quote was "Little America is ours. But let's face it - it always has been." which is part of a statement by Buzz Babcock, commander of U.S. forces in Canada. You find it on a terminal inside the Capital Post building in DC (Fallout 3) Must have gotten the America's Backyard bit from somewhere else.
@@unrealpotato2230 Canada by far has way more open land and empty space. And most isn't entirely accurate for the US either, 47% of the US land is uninhabited; Canada sits around 80%.

To be fair the war of 1812 wasn't even about canda, it was about Britain forcibly taking American sailors to fight napoleon, as well as screwing with American trading to France, and supporting natives to fight usa.
@@mrminkman952 41 million citizens to our 350 million. Canada banned guns for said citizens, we have hundreds of millions. Canada's military is only around 70k, 2.8 million for USA. Around $27 billion spent on Canadian Defense, USA nearing a Trillion $ yearly. 3,400 US sattelites vs 56 Canadian. I could go on, and you think it wouldn't be? Yes it would be over in record time
@mrminkman952 During 2020 - All the gun laws started to be enforced, then gun purchase, sales and transfers came into full affect on October 21, 2022, you also can't bring newly acquired guns into the country - but it was announced during May a week after a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas - This is what I found, I don't know how much is true or not

The funny thing is that Russia never got those money. Alska costed really A LOT, so Russia decided to buy gold on this sum of money in british bank. Yet the ships with gold on it sank🫡
@@Lina-iu7wm It's fake. 1. At that time there was already a normal banking system and the transaction was for non-cash currency, and not real gold. 2. Russia immediately spent all the money on purchasing railway equipment from Germany. 3. As for the ship "Orkney", which allegedly "sank", it is listed in Lloyd's reference books in 1870-1871, which once again confirms the groundlessness of the legend.
The whole reason Alaska was sold was because it was difficult for the Russians to govern and rule due to its distance from the mainland. They were afraid Britan would start a war for that land, and preferred to give it to America for cheap, so that the British wouldn't take it by force, and start an Alaskan war. (They weren't on good terms back then, but America seemed like a "friendlier" neighbour)
