That Forgotten War, Not So Forgotten Here

I have a Google Alert set up for the War of 1812 and will be posting every so often about it.

It would appear that Canada is observing it more than the U.S. with the exception of states and towns near the Canadian border, New Orleans and Maryland. Of course, these are all places where action occurred.


March 5th 610 AM Newstalk CKTB "Honouring a War of 1812 Hero."

Major General Sir Isaac Brock was killed October 13th while leading his troops at the Battle of Queenstown. Bill 35 going through a reading to have that date honored every October 13th.
