What is really significant (to me at least) about the anecdotal story is not whether it is true or not, but that people are able to believe it about him.
To historians that would be a key insight into the man as known by the general public.
What is also significant is he said it in anger after, if I am correct, accusing or insinuating Canada of being a national security risk!
I have to agree with you. For one how can it be fresh in anyone's memory as not one single person involved in the war is still alive. In fact it's generations past.
As for The orange one.
He technically isn't completely wrong. Canada was a part of the United Kingdom and they did fight against American forces during that war. Were there Canadian citizens, enlisted in the British army ? I don't know I am not that familiar with that war or how the United Kingdom staffed their military.
Would it be unfair or inaccurate for a Japanese to say to a British person you guys fire bombed our country?
Well England was part of the alliance and part of the leadership involved. American planes did the bombing, British resources were absolutely involved.
What about You guys nuked us? Well once again British resources were involved throughout the development of the bomb and I am certain British Leadership was involved with the decision making. Keeping in mind that during WWII the US and England really came together.
All that said. Trump is an idiot. Does he ever even once thinks before he speaks?
It's more than passing strange you think there would be such a thing as "Canadian citizens" prior to 1867.
"Canadian Confederation (French: Confédération canadienne) was the process by which the British colonies of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick were united into one Dominion of Canada on July 1, 1867."
Then you go on to disregard there even being a Canada at all while suggesting it would be only "British forces" fighting as your allies in WWII. As an example of Canada already being of somewhat unique status among commonwealth countries In 1939; Australia had not yet ratified the 1931 Westminster Statute, and so lacked an independent foreign policy. Menzies recognised this by saying in 1939, that as Britain was at war with Germany, so Australia was at war with Germany.
Canada made an official declaration of war with Germany: 10th of sept, 1939.
Which means that the measurement of IQ is meaningless.
Plenty of high IQs behind bars, so having a high IQ is not predictive of behavior.
Of course a party of elitists would, as a default, attack a person's intelligence and in the best eugenic tradition, reject anyone with an artificial IQ measurement deemed to be "low'.
To me the biggest irony of this misstatement is that the United States is the one that attacked Canada in the War of 1812. It was one of the first things we did after we declared war on the Brits.
Apparently, while the Brits were burning down the White House, the Canucks were busy taking over the Smithsonian:
Today We Celebrate the Time Canada Burned Down the White House Colin Schultz is a freelance science writer and editor based in Toronto, Canada. He blogs for Smart News and contributes to the American Geophysical Union. He has a B.Sc. in physical science and philosophy, and a M.A. in journalism.
We burned it down in revenge for invading one of our pubs back in 1778 and drinking all the beer.
Forgive me...why do boomer white men insist on the authority to object to such madness? After all, boomers transformed America from the greatest country in the world into a Semitic hell-scape of strip malls, degeneracy and nihilism.
How does a white gentile American man, in his 60's or 70's, digest the fall of American Democracy and feel like they have some authority on the conversation? Most of us younger guys know that you're the worst generation of men since the fall of Rome, but do you not not see it in yourselves? Even still? Do you honestly not digest what you've done?

Now that we live in a gender-confused hell-scape with 40 percent of American women on anti-depressants, suicide rampant, et al, they babble incoherently about niceties like this while checking their 401k. Jewish nihilism is now the new normal.
There is a special place in hell for the boomers.
Anti-boomer and anti-Semitic and completely off topic.
