This I did not know. Why was it called York and why was it changed?

Canada was a British Colony.

The history of Toronto began in the late 18th century when the British Crown purchased its land from the Mississaugas of the New Credit.

The British established a settlement there, called the Town of York, which its lieutenant governor, John Graves Simcoe, designated as the capital of Upper Canada.

The city was ransacked (by the Americans) in the Battle of York during the War of 1812.

In 1834, York was incorporated as a city and renamed Toronto.

THe British returned the favour by burning down Washington DC.

The Americans sent their "B" team to fight the British and lost, otherwise Toronto would be a city within the State of Ontario and part of the USA.

It was after the War of 1812 that the British and Americans settled the international boundary bewtween Canada /USA - ie the 49th parallel.

You know if you guys decide you want to bail on it that's fine bu tI'd like to point out the following accomplishments that exist in this thread:

  • Driving with the keys in your trunk is unorthodox but could work out just fine
  • IAG could use some Adderal
  • Archie and John Lennon are both dreamers
  • Casper should meet Puckie's neighbors
  • Nina has the yellow fever
  • Casper got lucky on Skype today
  • America ransacked York

Just sayin, it's been somewhat productive.

Thats exactly what they did, they didn't take the threat of Canada and the British seriously and got their ass whooped.

No way the British/Canadians could have fought the US and won vs the full force of the US military even back then.


There is a shitload of US/Canadian history all throughout the New England area, Quebec, Ontario, New York and Pennsylvania.

We share more in common in the north east than anywhere else on the continent.

having lived in PA in my whole life I am surprised I don't know more. What else can you teach me?
Why the fuck would you ever send your B team....when you're going into another country...so stupid. They should have played more RISK, then they'd know better.
