If You're Watching the Olympics on Canadian TV

From the July 31st Market Watch "Bill Mann's Canada: Canadian TV attacks U.S., Brits at Olympics."

And, it has to do with the War of 1812.

Canadians are being reminded by their government that the U.S. may be winning more Olympic medals, but they've already won the war...the War of 1812.

This commercial, done up to look like a movie trailer, would shock any Americans who happen to be watching Canadian TV.  Too bad they are not running the spot on U.S. television.  Evidently, it is a series of one minute spots.

One starts with the words "200 years ago...the U.S. invaded our territory.  But we defended our land."  Then, you see Canadian/British troops, Indian Chief tecumseh and Laura Secord rushing through the brush to confront the Americans.  "We stood side by side and won the fight for Canada."

I saw it on the internet and must say it is quite impressive.  www.1812.gc.ca
