Also, we lost? I'm pretty sure we signed the Treaty of Ghent and that it was pretty much a truce. We didn't lose anything, they (Britain, not Canada) didn't lose anything.
The first three words tell you this is a work of fiction.
Ummm...Joy. The war of 1812 was fought with Great Britain. The Dominion of Canada didn’t come into existence until 1867, you dumb bitch.
> Canada beat us in the War of 1812! <
Joy Reid is correct about that. And that’s why we’ve been speaking Canadian ever since.
Eh?
Joy Reid gives stupid c*nts a bad name.
There’s only 40 million people in the whole country. That’s a wee bit more than in the single state of California.
It is a fair criticism, I believe, to state that Americans are too reliant on their technology for their prowess. I’ve heard several times from Canadian soldiers, who are still using 60 year old rifles, that they’ve beaten Americans in war games.
A war game, however, is not the same as a battlefield.
Just wait until Trump agrees to our being a member of the Commonwealth. Then we’ll be Canada’s kid brother.
That is some 1st rate “logic” lol
40 million vs 350 million amd the Canadian military sure, but only these dummies really think Pres Trump wants to take Canada
What a world theu live in
I saw that. She is a loon.
I’m pretty sure the idiot thinks (whatever that process may happen in her mini-brain) that Canada beat us in hockey in 1812!
The Treaty of Paris (1783), ending the American Revolutionary War, saw Britain cede significant territories south of the Great Lakes—lands then considered part of Quebec (British North America, later Canada)—to the newly independent United States. This included what’s now parts of Ohio, Michigan, and other Midwest states, roughly 10 million acres. While this was a British decision, it effectively transferred areas under Canadian colonial administration to the U.S., as Quebec’s boundaries stretched southwest before the treaty.
The Treaty of Ghent (1814), concluding the War of 1812, didn’t involve major new cessions but clarified and adjusted borders. Areas like parts of Upper Canada (now Ontario) that U.S. forces briefly held were returned to British control, but no significant Canadian land was permanently ceded here.
The Webster-Ashburton Treaty (1842) resolved disputes from the Aroostook War, adjusting the Maine-New Brunswick border. Canada (via Britain) ceded about 5,000 square miles (roughly 3.2 million acres) of disputed land to the U.S., while gaining 6,500 square miles elsewhere. This was a net loss for Canada in some areas but a mutual clarification, not a unilateral handover.
The Oregon Treaty (1846) set the 49th parallel as the boundary west to the Pacific, ceding the southern half of the Oregon Country (about 286,000 square miles) to the U.S. This land, jointly occupied by Britain and the U.S., included parts of what’s now Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. While not yet fully Canadian (it was British territory), it’s often framed as a loss for Canada’s future western expansion.
Smaller adjustments occurred later, like the Alaska Boundary Dispute (1903), where Canada lost a sliver of coastal access in the Yukon to the U.S. (about 1,000 square miles), settled by a tribunal favoring American claims.
Summary:
* Treaty of Paris (1783): 236,000 square miles.
* Webster-Ashburton (1842): 5,000 square miles.
* Oregon Treaty (1846): 286,000 square miles.
* Alaska Boundary (1903): 1,000 square miles.
* Total: 528,000 square miles.
A HALF MILLION square miles!
Ya can’t fix stupid.🤪
This War of 1812 was right after We dropped 2 Nuke Bombs on Tokyo and started WW-II in the Pacific !!!
That stupid Demonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminaziguanopathicpedophilegoatrapering didn’t go to History Class.
I think joy is hoping that canada comes down here and kicks our ass. That’s a treasonous POV. I think she prolly has a couple of radios linked to beaver command and is giving them intel.
The problem here is that the question, no “how stupid can you be?“ is taken as a challenge by people like Joy Reid.
Einstein once said, “two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not entirely sure about the former.”
The Royal Canadian Mounties kicked our butts.
Be kind. Poor thing has no more staff, and that was 90% of her brain cells…
joy reid was fired from MSNBC ... why does anything she supposedly thinks or says warrant being posted on FR?
