Katja Labonté’s Reviews > The Invasion of Canada: 1812-1813 > Status Update

“Thus the war … ensured that Canada would never become a part of the Union to the south. Because of it, an alternative form of democracy grew up[.] The Canadian “way”—so difficult to define except in terms of negatives—had its roots in the invasion of 1812-1814, the last American invasion of Canada. There can never be another.”

Fascinating read in the context of today’s political climate.
