wasnt "Canada" created as part of the British North America Act (1867)?
Didnt canada do a big "150" thing in 2017?
The US invaded "british north america" in 1812.
The article is also mistaken when it talks about "canadians" defending British North America. They were british citizens.

- goodcanadian 7y agoConfederation occurred in 1867. That is often considered to be the birth of the country. However, the concept of Canada as a place existed prior to that. And, yes, it was inhabited by people who called themselves Canadian even if they were also British citizens (until 1939, if memory serves correctly).
