Canadian historian of the American Civil War. The pictures are of Col. H. C. Heg in Lierbyen, Norway and Brig. Gen. Ernst Vegesack in Solna, Sweden.

@LeoLeo1643486 @canada_based_ NATO countries call an attack on one is an attack on all. Canada was the first to respond to the attacks. Indeed your country made the motion in the North Atlantic council to go to war in Afghanistan.

@LeoLeo1643486 @canada_based_ Terrorists based there attacked our ally.

@LeoLeo1643486 @canada_based_ No that was 2001-2014

@canada_based_ You can thank the Grand Army of the Republic for inspiring Canada to adopt a similar holiday for its veterans.

The U.S. role in putting down the fenians tends to be overlooked. Their soldiers rounded them up when they returned across the border.

@PopcornPost_ Return of the Jedi because it was all downhill from there

@towhey No but Ukraine showed that they can kill lots of Russians really well. Start thinking about real world scenarios not fantasies

[Scott A. MacKenzie 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇧🇷🇺🇦 @5thBorderState]

@CraigBaird Just like in 2022

@jaglancy Sweden put ingmar Bergman on its banknotes so Britain could put a famous director on its: Hitchcock? Lean? Powell and Pressburger?

@beauti_animals Hell on earth

[Scott A. MacKenzie 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇧🇷🇺🇦 @5thBorderState]

@FightingOnFilm Appalling history even for a Hollywood movie of the age. The Charge of the light brigade took place in 1856 - two years before the Great rebellion in India

@DivebumChef Canadian workers made weapons like agent orange and napalm for use in Vietnam, plus the military allowed their testing at their facilities. That’s involvement in the war even if no combat units served in theater.

[Scott A. MacKenzie 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇧🇷🇺🇦 @5thBorderState]

@beauti_animals I was just there.

[Scott A. MacKenzie 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇧🇷🇺🇦 @5thBorderState]

@MungusShug @Graham_Mark_E And when will that start?

[Scott A. MacKenzie 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇧🇷🇺🇦 @5thBorderState]

@Graham_Mark_E Then why did your country adopt U.S. constitutional ideas when you drafted your own in 1864-65? Britain didn't have a written constitution, a senate, a federal system, nor a supreme court - but yours did, thanks to Abraham Lincoln and the Union cause.

@BrentHCameron What does that statement have to do with Canada at all?

[Scott A. MacKenzie 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇧🇷🇺🇦 @5thBorderState]

@TFProjectAthena Uh, what else were they supposed to do with them?

[Scott A. MacKenzie 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇧🇷🇺🇦 @5thBorderState]

@JimHendley4NC Any Canadian film - Hyena Road, Passchendale, Dieppe, that corvette movie. Even Hollywood does a better job.

@FrostiProti @athabaskanelite By no means a majority. Emigration from the British isles continued throughout the 19th and 20th centuries
