US failed so badly back in the day

I my Canadian and American history classes (yeah I'm taking both) there have been countless chances were they very easily could just had a small war and got all of Canada. For once for example they had 30 000 troops in the Oregon Territory and told Canada up to 54 40 (longitude latitude) of BC was theres. But they didn't want to fight a milita and a few redcoats.

I guess my point is that Canada is lucky (thankfully) to be a country today and wonder how Americans feel about not having Canada part of their country

Dude it was the same thing with Mexico. They wanted the territory but not the people.

Americans don't want to conqure Chanda, because there arnt any big benefits from doing so. (Today anyway)

Fighting Canada would have meant fighting England. Canada is England's biotch and if someone messes with them England would have to throw down.

God save the queen!! (Canada still recognizes the authority of the queen, right?)

Canada only became a country because the Americans were going to invade because the Britsh sided with the Confederates

Not much longer probably when the Queen dies we'll cut ties with them

It is because we would then unload moose crap and fire beavers from our catapults relentlessly at the invading US divisions. :lol:

The Civil War is not covered....... at all. The build up to the war? Yes. Reconstruction? Hell yes. The War itself? Not even talked about. I remember we skipped 1861-1865 in my AP US History class in High School.

Two letters, UK: they were the force back in the day and owned Canada.

Though we could of had Mexico after the Mexican America war (was actually discussed/debated), but racial beliefs stopped that from happening.

Yeah I've literally never heard of that happening. Every single American History class I've ever taken at least alluded to the Civil War at various points in the course, and those classes that covered a period of time that intersected with the Civil War went into it in some heavy detail.

The U.S. actually did attack Canada in the War of 1812... and it failed.

Canada was a province of the most powerful country in the world back in the day - England. The US was a fledling country that had neither the military nor the infrastructure to oppose England in a prolonged confrontation. I don't think Canada ever would have fallen to american forces unless England decided to abandon their investment.

Honestly I could care less about Canada and I assume most Americans feel the same too. They only have like 5 great cities, the majority of it is just nothing. The US has a city with 500K plus people and different cultures in almost every state. Also its freekin cold there. Most of Canada is a carbon copy of the worst states in the US. Cold and barren.
In the US we have palm trees, skyscrapers, beaches, multiple mountain ranges, the grand canyon, and places where its 75 degrees in christmas, and every single culture and race in the entire world. Can canada say any of that? No, they just have good weed, but so do we, especially in states where there medicinal MJ.

Toronto however is one of the best cities in the entire world.

i have to agree with u. most of the country are open land and very few big citys.

i know a girl i talk to and she lives in the middle of no where.

the town is so small that mostly everyone knows every body and knows what happens to one family.

she told me the nearest towns and citys are about 20miles+ away.

Canada has really no real value but for mining or and commodities.

but in the filp side if the US do take over the Canada we will gain alot more land to build new citys or send people ( like pedos) to the middle of no where to live.

but in the same time that will cost us more tax money to just maintain the states.
