Regarding the issue of Donald Trump's incorrect belief that Canadians burned down the White House during the War of 1812. The facts are since there was no Canada as we know it until July, 1867, no Canadians could have fought in that war. Sir George Prevost was a British army officer and Military Commander in Chief of British North America at that time. Just as George Washington was British, not American, during his stint in the French and Indian War, Sir George was also British. There was no Canada. The British burned down the White House. As usual, Trump was wrong. He must get his "facts" from an alternative history book
