The War of 1812

Just to add to Jonathan's earlier post, and because this is a hilarious take on a very famous part of Canadian history, I thought I would put up a link to this little video of a little Canadian band (if anyone knows their name, please add it, I can't remember) singing about the War of 1812. This could definitely be used to open up discussion about Canadian Nationalism, or the war. Plus its hysterical.
Check out the video here

If you want some other fun listening- get a version of the 1812 overture with digitally mastered cannons and play it to wake up your students in the morning!

Very funny, I enjoyed the comedy at the beginning. I agree that this could be used to discuss national myths on both sides of the border
