Hehehe, yeah, well, I was talking about the other way around, the US trying to invade Canada, not the fact that Britain kicked US butt. But, as before, the British found the stiff local resistance (and indeed weather) too much to hold on to over time. Like the US in Vietnam. The utter failure of the treks north from Lake Champlain are still taught, or were in the 70's, in New York State schools.
