[QUOTE="klein, post: 948061, member: 23950"] Far fetched ! Canadians have no desire at all to join the USA, Quite the opposite, and even our PM Harper is rubbing it in ! : [B]War of 1812 bicentennial splash in Canada contrasts with widespread U.S. indifference[/B] As Canada revs up to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, most Americans are observing it with a shrug and some are little bemused by the fuss Canadians are making. The federal government is spending $28 million on the bicentennial, including a Canada Day extravaganza on Parliament Hill, to cement Prime Minister Stephen Harper's view of the war as a pivotal event in Canadian history. Tight government budgets have prevented a broad U.S. commemoration of the anniversary, according to the [I]Los Angeles Times[/I], which added there's little interest in doing more. [/QUOTE]
