Taxation without representation.

Hmm, seems to me that was 1776 when John Hancock (a smuggler by profession, wanted dead or alive by the British, and the only guy to sign the delaration of Independence prior to the American Revolution (he was after all wanted dead or alive by the British, so what did he have to lose)) made such a statement because he didn't like paying duty.

The War of 1812 (when the US tried to conquor Canada) was a bit later mon ami. By that time, the United States was an independant country and was not paying a dime in taxes to Britain.

And no, France has NOT been shipping weapons to Iraq since 1991.

Canada was NEVER a part of England for pete's sake.

It's Britain.

There's a difference. England is but one country. Britain = Scotland, England, and Wales.

P.S. We are still loyal to the crown too.

God save the Queen.
