Do Canadians actually learn in school that they burned the White House?

This girl in an acting troupe from Toronto that I met told me that they burned the White House... and I was like "They teach you that Canadian propoganda in school?! It was the British!"

Ummmm. I dont remember hearing about that in school but, then I dont have a very good memory.

i don't remember learning that in school either.

It was the British that burned the White House.

Well, the British controlled Canada, the way they controlled our colonies. But they were still considered British subjects then I believe. Therefore, would it not be the British who did it?

Canada was still British at that point. We were the Dominion of Canada. Our forces, canadians and british, who were countering the attack from the States, were the ones who burned down the White House.

No miss Val, we didn't learn that, but on thursday we get to learn what comes after the number 3!!

meh it's all a matter of what you consider to be canada, do you consider it to be american's that lived in the 13 colonies, it's kind athe same we were british run but we still considered ourselves to be canadian
