Canada officially became The Dominion of Canada on July 1, 1867 "Dominion comes from the Latin dominus, which means master. Dominion that which is ruled was used by the British to describe their colonies or territorial possessions around the globe"
Canada officially became a country in 1982
So Canada was under the British 1763-1982
The Burning of Washington was a British invasion during the War of 1812. On August 24, 1814
At the time canada was Part of the UK so yeah you guys burnt down Washington MAGA/KAGA
Obviously either some people are just to dense to understand this or they'd rather continue to make up lies and hope the lies stick with someone. Either way, they aren't helping their anti-Trump agenda. They just look more foolish with each post.

Kind of, but not really.
Canada became a country on July 1st, 1867. This is the date that Canada celebrates as being the birth of Canada.
It wasn't an independent country, but had it's own parliament etc.
Independence came in various stages over the years. The biggest first step was The Statue of Westminster in 1931. This is when Britain gave all the powers of parliament to Canada, meaning full legal freedom. That's why Canada declared itself in the World War 2, not Britain declaring Canada should go.
Except amending or changing our constitution, we were an independent country...kind of...
The 1982 date is important because finally Canada had total control over it's constitution. Oddly though, that date is not celebrated.
The bits and pieces that made Canada what it is today, is interesting to history buff. For instance, Canadian citizenship wasn't established until January 1st, 1947...and again kind of. Told you it's in bits...prior to 1947
"The status of "Canadian citizen" was originally created under the Immigration Act, 1910,[4] to designate those British subjects who were born, naturalized or domiciled in Canada.[5] All other British subjects required permission to land. "Domicile" was defined as having been resident in Canada for three years, excluding any time spent in prisons or mental institutions.[5]
A separate status of "Canadian national" was created under the Canadian Nationals Act, 1921,[5][6] which was defined as being a Canadian citizen as defined above, their wives, and any children (fathered by such citizens) that had not yet landed in Canada.
However, these concepts were merely subsets of the status of "British subject", which was regulated by the Imperial British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act 1914,[7] which was adopted in Canada by the Naturalization Act, 1914.[8]"

Kind of a winding road to build a country. LOL Maybe a revolution would of been quicker.
The confederation in 1867 just led to a bigger Dominion and the brits gave Canada a little slack with running some of their own affairs but Canada remained under the British boot as British colony part of the British Empire.
Canadians still had to kiss the boots of the British Parliament until the enactment of the Statute of Westminster in 1931 which made Canada an independent peer co-equal with the United Kingdom, that's when the Parliament of Canada got to call its own shots over its own matters but they couldn't change their constitution which remained under the boot of the brits .
Canada's got from under the Brits boots in 1982 with the Canada Act, and finally got full legal sovereignty becoming completely independent of the brits and finally becoming an independent country..
So Trump is Still right the Brits burnt down Washington DC- Canada was the brits so yeah you guys burnt
Washington down. MAGA/KAGA
Some Canadian units, made up of mostly French prisoners of war called the Independent Companies of Foreigners, took part in this, the Chesapeake Campaign:
One of the highlights of the Campaign was..................the attack on Washington, DC and the burning of various government buildings, to include the White House.

The British Empire was mainly a money making venture, indeed it developed from the great trading and chatered companies.
In India the British ruled through the Maharaja known as the Raj, they were native Princes and rulers who had their own armies and ruled the different provinces, and the British kept them happy and made them rich through it's trading Empire.
Britain kept a large navy to protect it's maritime trade but had a much smaller Army when compared to other European countries.
The British were generally quite happy for Canada to rule itself, and relations and trade was always good. indeed the Hudson Bay Company still survives to this day.
Britain rarely ruled it's Empire with a rod of iron, especially in the 20th Century, indeed Britain still has good relations with most Commonwealth nations.
Even in terms of the US taxes were actually lower than in Britain, whilst a number of British politicians and interest groups were open to the idea of American representation. In the end Britain mustered a relatively small army, over a third of which was made up of German Hessian mercenaries.

“No taxation without representation” — the rallying cry of the American Revolution — gives the impression that taxation was the principal irritant between Britain and its American colonies. But, in fact, taxes in the colonies were much lower than taxes in Britain. The central grievance of the colonists was their lack of a voice in the government that ruled them.
Britain paid 26 shillings per year in taxes compared to only 1 shilling per year in New England, even though the living standard of the colonists was arguably higher than that of the British.
Most accounts of the events that led to the American Revolution depict a conflict between the colonies and a unified British government. In fact, the researchers argue, the reality was subtler. They draw on a variety of historical accounts to describe the tension between two rival British interest groups, the landed gentry and the democratically inclined opposition, and explain the failure to reach a compromise that would have granted representation to the colonies. In particular, they focus on how extending representation would have affected the relative influence of these two groups.

It should be noted: at the end of the war, some 3000 of those Hessians opted to stay in America; proving once again.... we have better beer!
We were mainly getting totally out of it on Gin at the time, that was until Parliament kept making it more expensive and regulating it, there was even the Gin Riots of 1743.
Beer was always promoted as the healthier option and you can see this in the work of Artist William Hogarth with it's depictions of Gin Lane and Beer Street in London.

HAHAHA! You're probably right; but then again, the Germans probably saw the Brits as a lost cause.... beer-wise!
