Amid Trump’s threats, the Canadian war for the year 1812, they are overcoming the American battles

The brave iron mutation is frequented by farmers’ fields in Prince Edward County, Oanton.

Lived in a composition behind the smoking barrel, there are dozens of members of the Canadian pedestrian regiment, wearing an accurate costume accurately. Some have musk, others FIFE and drum.

For decades, the group reactivated the decisive battles and moments of the 1812 war. The United States declared the war on Great Britain and then partially due to commercial skirmishes and overlap, as well as forced recruitment of Americans in British marine service.

During the war, the Americans tried to take British lands in Canada, but they were met with severe resistance from British, Canadian, dead and indigenous fighters.

Publications represented a cohort in Europe and the depth of “enemy lands” in the United States to celebrate many observation battles. The group usually heads to New York in February to help reactivate the battle of OgDensburg, a British victory.

But this year, they remained.

“All of our members are very Canadians, many of whom are very angry, as many Canadians revolve around the situation and they are very hesitant to go across the border,” said David Moore, who behaves as a pioneer in the Canadian Recorder Regiment, also known as the match.

It is true that the Canadian dollar did not help, but US President Donald Trump’s talk about making Canada state 51 maintains eruptions firmly on this aspect of the St. Lawrence River.

Watch | The 1812 war sticks are considering twice in the title of the United States:

“There were events in the United States, in New York, Michigan, etc.,” Moore said. “

“On my body”

Many of the match have deep roots in this part of southeast Ontario, with grandparents who fought for the British in the 1812 war and beyond.

“My family had the characteristics taken from the Americans before. So this is my fear (about crossing the borders),” said Sean Fenjan, whose family’s roots in the region return to the American revolution.

Donald Trump has repeatedly referred to former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a “ruler” and insisted that Canada “only works as a country.” Trump also described the Canadian -American border as a “artificial line”.

Fenjan said that the conversation of the annexation was “very annoying” taking into account that “we helped them during and after September 11,” referring to the fact that more than 200 trips were transferred to Canada after it closed the American airspace in response to the al -Qaeda attack on September 11, 2001. Canada took thousands of parked passengers until it was safe for the two natural operations.

“We went up to help them at the time of their need, and this greatly thanked us: they want to take us. Therefore, like many Canadians, it is a kind of feeling of jaws.”

John Osinski, a 1812 war that lives in Midelburg, New York, feels separate from his Canadian friends.

“Oh, we missed the match,” he said. “We need each other. We cannot tell our stories, our mutual stories, here. We cannot tell them without each other.”

Osinski, who often represents the New York militia unit, which volunteered for federal service in December 1812, said it is optimistic that the current tensions between countries will be resolved.

“We have faced this type of things in our history in the past. And the war of 1812 did not complete anything, in fact, unlike causing further destruction. People on the border were not their sides, in favor of what really happened,” he said.

“I don’t think for a moment that (the Trump administration) is trying to make Canada country 51,” he said. “But (the idea) causes difficult times and only.”

Craig Russell, another American friend for a long time for the match that plays a role in Clinton Province, New York, militia officer, shares these feelings.

“I am 20 miles from the border,” he said. “I play Tuba in a band in Montreal, a summer band. I do a lot of things in both countries, culturally and historically.”

“My thing is, let’s settle all this and move forward. It is just a crisis that you should not be on,” Russell said.

Friends hope that tensions will decline by the time when America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the independence war in 2026, and perhaps even before that time.

The importance of history

Meanwhile, the match is committed to celebrating important battles on the Canadian side of the border.

The status of the uniform on the history of the nation and its celebration has become especially useful for More at the present time.

Moore said: “If you do not adhere to your heritage, you will be lost.” Then, when a question arises, do we have to join the states? Well, if you do not know the country in which you are, you are having difficulty answering that.

“But if you know your history, and if you know what happened here, I think you are more likely to say that this is a country worth defending – our history, our nation – and stay independent.”
