Now, don't go silent on me.

"What year was the Canadian war for independence fought?"

While answering that Canada - along with countless undeniably independent counties including Australia - didn't have one, I'm now moved to add "and simplistic" to my initial comment.

What year was the Canadian war for independence fought?

You're not the first to bring up this subject.

Generally speaking, I've always wondered why it should even matter with regards to the issues of today. So, because WE didn't have a war for independence, like the Americans did so long ago, WE are unworthy of independence? Did YOU fight for YOUR independence?

You seem to pride yourself and preach on the actions of many from long ago. If you could talk to a Patriot now, do you think they would have wanted to do it the way that they did? All of the turmoil and death and families being decimated? Which way of gaining independence do you think they would have chosen?

It should also be noted that we are not 100% independent. We still have too many ties to royalty.
