Thank you, Nelson, for the other North American view of the War of 1812. I love it. Each country (side) has its own version of every conflict. I truly believe the truth is always some place in the middle. The true history of any aspect of human undertaking is held in the hearts and minds of the people who actually lived through it and in those whose lives were touched by it in any way.

Nelsons proof that Canada won the war is probably as valid as any historical document. As former Prime Minister Poutine said," Da proof is da proff is da Proof is da proof". Please do not mind but this my American friends, it is an inside Canadaian joke. Joe - Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leona L.
