Poll: War of 1812 saved us from U.S. politics


A new survey suggests Canadians and Americans have vastly divergent attitudes toward the border war that broke out in 1812 and bumbled along for three years.
Americans see it as a war that produced their national anthem. Canadians see it as a war that saved them from American assimilation and preserved them from American politics, gun laws and shared citizenship with Snooki of Jersey Shore.
