Hello to all the new users!
This is simple sabotage. There is nothing beneficial about this outside of showing some green on Wallstreet LEDs. Pure pump and dump scheme.
July 20th, 1812: US General William Hull makes a war proclamation on Canada, and begins his invasion.
I thought this was relevant in the wake of all this annexation talk…it’s good to remember history.
Of particular note: the Americans under Andrew Jackson were already running red hot from Tecumseh’s Rebellion and other various wars with Native Americans. There was a big racial sentiment at this time as noted by the line in the second column of the first page: “No white man fighting by the side of an Indian will be taken prisoner; instant destruction will be his lot.”
Makes you proud to think about the Canadians that fought in the War of 1812 in places like Fort Erie.
