I've never hear a Canadian say aboot... I have heard us say aboat...
As for the White House burning... Mondak... geez lighten up. It is our way of poking fun at the US...
And yes, technically it was British regulars that were involved in the war of 1812. However, there were also a large number of Upper and Lower Canadians in the form of Militia and a great number of Native Americans that were involved in that fracas.
The whole Vichy French thing is a little off base. Upper Canada was full of people who didn't want to seperate as the US did. It was not an occupied territory in the same sense as France was in WW2.
As for not having the balls to seperate from the UK... well. We are seperate. In true Canadian fashion we did it through negotiation. Sure it took longer but we didn't have to kill to get it.
As a Canadian I am extremely proud of that heritage.
