good point -- one of the big differences between Canada and the US (although other Canadians might disagree) is that Americans seem to be more patriotic and more boostery about the USA than Canadians are about Canada. The history book writers have been trying to make Canadian history more interesting, but our failed revolution of 1837 with its decisive losses at the Battle of Montgomery's Tavern (really) never inspired us the way your successful revolutions inspired you.
