You know the BEST thing that came from the war of 1812? It was the LAST war between the US and Commonwealth countries that I know of. (Oh yeah there were skirmishs in the PNW I guess) While there was no formalization until thirty years later, 1848 or something, we have been 'friends' for over 160 years, with the longest nonmilitarized boundry in the world.
Yes we have our differences, but we are so much alike it stinks sometimes eh?
I grew up 60 miles from the Canadian line. Had I joined the closest active duty army unit, I would have been in the Canadian army.
