Finally a real fighter answers Trump's annexationist musings. Former PM Jean Chrétien: "We need the United States to recognize the Northwest Passage as being Canadian waters."

Maj.-Gen. Sir Isaac Brock in response to the US declaration of war on Canada in 1812: "... exert your energies, co-operate cordially with the King's regular Forces to repel the invader, and do not give cause to your children when groaning under the oppression of a foreign Master to reproach you with having too easily parted with the richest Inheritance on Earth."

Soldiers, descendants of Loyalists and history buffs recreate a battle to demonstrate why the War of 1812 is still important today. @CanGeo @RCGS_SGRC

Pundits and historians can debate all they wish the merits of Jimmy Carter's presidency. But they cannot dispute the potential of a democracy that elects someone of such deep humanity and intellectual vigour to be their President. President Carter was one of the great men of our time. It was such an honour to meet him, and to listen to his lessons at Maranatha Baptist Church, in Plains, GA. He was an Honorary Fellow and medallist of @rcgs_sgrc. The entire Society joins me in sending condolences to the Carter family and to the people of the United States. @carterlibrary39 @CarterCenter @cangeo #JimmyCarter
