There were no Canadians Fighting in 1814 in Nawlins.
You chumps found out its a lot safer fighting Brits in the swamp than Hard Canucks in the cold.
That's why your still kept out of the Northern 1/2 of North America.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/war-of-1812
The War of 1812 (which lasted from 1812 to 1814) was a military conflict between the United States and Great Britain. As a colony of Great Britain, Canada was swept up in the War of 1812 and was invaded several times by the Americans. The war was fought in Upper Canada, Lower Canada, on the Great Lakes and the Atlantic, and in the United States. The peace treaty of Ghent (1814), which ended the war, largely returned the status quo. However, in Canada, the war contributed to a growing sense of national identity, including the idea that civilian soldiers were largely responsible for repelling the American invaders. In contrast, the First Nations allies of the British and Canadian cause suffered much because of the war; not only had they lost many warriors (including the great Tecumseh), they also lost any hope of halting American expansion in the west, and their contributions were quickly forgotten by their British and Canadian allies (seeFirst Nations and Métis Peoples in the War of 1812).

The origins of this quote start with Gustavus Adolphus and his incredibly effective infantry in the 30 years war (1618-1648) . His men were devout Christians taught not to fear death, they would march in file straight into a hail of bullets until "you could see the whites of their eyes" then open up a devastating volley of rapid musket fire, most of their opposition could not stomach the close range devastation and the Swedes achieved a large empire using this system.

If you read history, you are wrong when you say Canadians burnt down our Whitehouse. Coattail clingers lol.

We destroyed Port Dover so your mommy retaliated.

The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war
