Tomorrow, Oct. 13th, there will be a second bombardment.
Also, tomorrow, British troops will ransack Center Street businesses looking for deserters. Local citizens and merchants will be harassed and bullied.
Hundreds of re-enactors from Canada and the U.S. will be on hand.
"The revered British general Isaac Brock was shot and killed by an American sniper. Brock is buried underneath the 185-foot monument that bears his name that was first constructed in 1824 to honor him as 'The Savior of Upper Canada.'" Canadians believe that if it wasn't for Brock's cunning and energetic defense of Canada during the War of 1812, Canada would have been conquered and annexed to the U.S., though no evidence exists that America had any intention of actually taking over Canada.
I kind of pick up an anti-Canadian tone for some reason.
Brock=Perry
