Thank you for your inquiry Stephen. Please find information about Canada's Greatest Summer Job: as part of the celebrations to mark the 125th anniversary of national parks in Canada (2010), 32 student video reporters worked in the 32 Parks Canada field units across the country. Students were tasked with producing a series of video reports on their experiences in our national parks, national historic sites and national marine conservation areas.

Hi I was wondering were I need to go to apply for a job at Fort George?

I'm french canadian. My feelings about the English are mixed because of our history. However, I have nothing but admiration and grattitude for all the brave souls, french and english, who fought and died in the war of 1812 to protect our country. God bless

Fry is THE BEST. His musket demonstrations are hilarious. His dry humour works so well. Super nice dude. :D

I met Fry just last Wednesday! Absolutely great instructor. Very humorous, but still very informative. He certainly would of been a good mate to have in the fort :P Ah, I should add I'm also American. I love learning history so the fact that there was a fort nearby during our trip to the falls was just a no brainer. Wore my Fort Mackinac shirt and so many reenactors and workers complimented me on it. The one even asked me if I liked the fort because she was planning on going! I love how you guys hire people who really do love what they do and the history of it all!

God bless Canada, friend of Britain.

Good to see the neglected war of 1812 getting some air time.

as a Brit ex Para, I want to tell you Canadians that I admire your magnificent nation and I'd like to say thank you for being our staunchest ally, through thick and thin, in times past. Blood runs thicker than water, we know, but your country's sacrifice, alongside your mother country in its hour of need, will always be the stuff of legend. Those of us who really understand our shared history will never forget. God Bless You Canada and your brave soldiers.

Yes a nation that is too cowardly to embrace freedom the the United States, I bet you filthy queen worshipers do admire Canada. Don't want another war you'd lose to stain your record. Your filthy nation will never know what freedom is.

It saddens me that a time once existed that we must fight against our brothers and sisters to the north. It was necessary for our continued existence, but you honor us with your fallen. Never again will Canadian and American forces clash. You are our bothers. We stand bedside you, as you have done for us, countless times. You are one with us, but we done not seek your vessel. You live life as your own, and should anyone threaten this, we will ride beside you in defense. Sincerely, An American, of Canadian decent

I went to Fort George once and the British flag was flying upside down.

The Seige/bombardment had already ended by the time he hid them there, because the US army bombarded in order to lure the British/Canadians out to fight them in the field which they would surely loose, therefore they weren’t being bombarded when he hid them there. It’s kind of obvious in the video.

Great video, thanks for making and sharing it.

I am an American, but Canada, especially Montreal in Quebec has a special place in my heart. I too do re enactments and it is a wonderful thing to re experience our shared history, even with my Brown Bess musketoon on my shoulder! But part of me, despite my Yankee roots, will always be Quebecois!

Canada did well to repel so many invasion attempts by the Yanks. I've always like the Canadians ever since I learnt about their effectiveness during WWI. Our generals employed their army as a kind of special forces because they used to get shit done on the battlefield. Massive respect, from England.

Chills through out my body!

It's refreshing to come across one of these sites that isn't full of hate-filled attacks on each others nations. Well done.

I may be an American, but God bless those brave Canadians defending their land, and the Brave Americans fighting forth. It’s nice to see the forgotten war gets some remembrance.

Proud to say as a Native Canadian that helped the Brittish as Allies win the war of 1812.

I'm American and I agree with you 100%. I honor the British people for their friendship and courage. Great Britain is America's greatest ally.

As I see that, and being in the military and as veteran. I'm always been told thanks for your service. It reminds me of the parades of service a time for that special someone who offered time in the military and never came back to see what was his legacy was. As the military teaches us: We will remember, lest we forget. To everyone who knows to show respect for a stranger to give him the honor or honour into nations in conflict: You may even want to show thank-you to the relative as a result of the conflict of our battles. That conflict gave America It's a National Anthem of the United States and Military Colleges and Naval Academies and this is true and showed what it takes to share our grief with friends and relatives of both nations. It showed Great Britain and France the leadership it took to show Canada as a allies to show respect for one another and quit arguing with each other. In addition Canada gained freedom to think for itself and showed great Valor or Valour and great Courageous in the military and gave the people who are not in the military and political leaders a great promise that we can get the best out of people who want the same but greatness of the world without making it getting to make sure that it won't happen again. As a Canadian we can soldier on each of the new world remember that our relationship with USA is not an issue it's a opinion.

Very true.....and thank you.!

This is an outstanding video! Keep up the good work! Also, does anyone know where I can find reenactment where I can be a British soldier? I live in Missouri.

I love how your comment causes so much controversy. Good job my friend, good job.

I was at a reenactment of this battle as an American artilleryman, it was also where I learned the dangers of reloading your musket with bayonets fixed.

Imo the most important outcome of the War of 1812 was the demilitarization of the US-Canada border.

I am not a philologist, but one resource (darned if I can remember!) suggested that the more obvious current British accent migrated from Southern England after the revolution. In fact, it was suggested that the most common British accent in the late 18th century was similar to a modern American/Canadian accent, evolving later in England to the accents we now consider British. No dog in this fight, just intrigued by language development. In fact, while I an no fan of Chomsky's politics he make some some interesting linguistic references on a KZread video that I used for a class recently. He suggested that in the case of French for example, that in spite of efforts to keep French "pure" that a modern Frenchman could not understand a countryman from the 17th or 18th century.

Not quite. It's only RP that is relatively new. The regional accents of the UK date back hundreds of years. Due to poor transport loads of accents developed in short distances. Manc, Scouse, Geordie, Rural Yorkshire, Sheffield, Leeds, stopfordian, mackem... I could go on.

You definitely know some good stuff. I study history and politics so this kind of area is an area I need to know! I haven't seen that article but I'll give it a look. Thanks for the heads up!

Its rare to see an American on a thread like this with such a balanced view! Normally its just a torrent of gloats based on (at best) very iffy foundations. Hats off to that man!

GLORY TO THE BRITISH EMPIRE!!!

Even though the U.S. and Canada are friends now, its historical scenes like this that make people think twice about going over the line and try to take Canada. This is Our Home and Native Land. We Will Stand, we will never give it up without a fight, never.

11 years later and I’m JUST finding out I am in this video

I salute you, sir.

Love Canada !

Re-enactors can decide on the fly whether or not to take a hit (usually at specific points during the battle). Often if your musket is giving you trouble that you can't fix, you'll opt to go down. Also, muskets are a royal pain in the arse to clean, so if you conveniently "missfire" then take a hit, you don't have to clean it :P. Hope this answers your question!

Nice to be reminded that the Americans did not win every war that they were in.....although they think they have done!

Well, the front between the US and Canada was a stalemate. The US did stop British aggression at sea, and the British never invaded again. Technically, the US "won." Korea was a draw. Vietnam was a loss. What other war did the US lose? Btw, the Canadians fought some of the toughest battles of WWI, and they were known for their toughness, even to the Germans. Canadians stormed the beaches of Normandy. Don't be hating on Canada.

@theknightgalahad

Steven Venette The War of 1812 was a complete military stalemate between the US and Britain and her Canadian colonies. The US did not "technically win". You tried to invade Canada several times and failed miserably during the war, and at the end the British burned the White House and finally got defeated at New Orleans. Several days before, the treaty of Ghent was signed, and the war was over. And the aggression at sea MOSTLY stopped because Napoleon was sent into exile for the first time (before he would rise up again a while later), and the British thought he was no longer a threat. And the Americans suffered more losses during the war. Anyways, you could argue Britain won because we beat back the Americans from taking Canada, or you could argue that the Americans won because of New Orleans, but really, it was a stalemate. If anyone lost, it was the Indians. It was quite a strange war, but people in Canada sort of consider it as our war of liberty/freedom, because we had a large change of being invaded, but we stood up and fought back the Americans all the way to Washington. Let's just say, Canada was no "mere matter of marching".

Nice work.

Happy 150th Birthday Canada, you are the shining star in the north we now look to as an example of peace, order and good government...and yes some semblance of sanity. Please keep us in you thoughts and prayers as we enter this new dark age.

Originally from Niagara Falls NY and a history buff, when growing up I went to many of the historical locations in the area, both US and Canada. Went many times to Fort George and find it quite interesting. But, America's Fort Niagara just across the river has a longer history.

@TheIceman567 As a Canadian I am always reminding people especially Americans when talking about the war of 1812, We were the the British back then. So were the Americans before 1776. We were one people fighting a 7 year war against Frances North American colonies. In 1776 many of Brit colonies rebelled and became the USA, The revolution created the US Identity. The war of 1812 created the Canadian Identity. Two young nations whom started as enemies later to become friends and allies. Astounding

this reminds me of a German friend who was in the USAF in Turkey in the late 1950s...he said,,,you say tough and rough but then doughnut as donut - I could not explain it to him :)

Actually no, the Americans by this point were using French manuals, hence their exemplary performance on the Niagara in 1814.

As an American, it's always interesting to see the War of 1812 from the Canadian perspective. By the way, the Irish pennywhistle wasn't a thing quite yet during that period. It would be about another 30 years, or so!😁 However, I admit that it's a sound that pairs well with this particular historical setting, the slight anachronism notwithstanding.

You're being humble, I think burning your rivals capital city to the ground is a good standard to know who's won. ;-)

There was no such thing as a Canadian in 1812. Canada didn't form as a nation until 1867. They were known as British North America until 1867. So they were all British subjects even if they were born and raised on North American ground.

last time I checked, the Americans took Fort George. It was our summer job.

Am From England i'm just here to say "HELLO Canada" =)

Exactly, im from Britain and i dont see any reason to get angry over who won, its history i enjoy learning it and Obviously no one will win every single battle

If i remember correctly, there were only about 8-900 or so soldiers in Fort George, which was only waist height when the American forces arrived. And the two regiments, the 78th and 82nd, were newly raised, so the majority of them would have been inexperienced.

interesting because I met a sailor from Malmesbury when HMS EAGLE visited Istanbul in 1958. this was when I had my first cup of tea with milk in it ! best way to drink it :)

@TheIceman567 I wasn't to many years before this that you were British too. Before the Revolution we were all Britains north American colonies. Fought a seven year war against Frances north American colonies. The revolution created the American identity. The war of 1812 created the Canadian identity. Our history's are so intertwined its fascinating how things worked out and two enemies would become friends and allies.

As far as I'm aware, Canada only pays for the costs of Royal visits, as is normal procedure. It does have trade initiatives with the Commonwealth, but those can hardly be described as "paying taxes".

Love you Canada. our history is entwined as is our bloodshed together.

Agreed!

yes.

Canada as we know it was created in 1867 and the Canadian army was created at the same time. The British army fought the Americans in 1812, with the "Canadiens" helps. In 1812, the English-Canadian identity barely existed, they were pure British loyalists. In that time only the french speaking people of Lower-Canada, now Québec, considered themselves as "Canadiens".

"The Americans and the British, two peoples separated by a common language." Oscar Wilde. While our histories have been steeped in bloodshed for one reason or another, recent history has shown that we have, in ideals, as much in common as anyone on earth and when we come together and fight for the common good of all, we represent what is best in humanity. English, American and Canadian have all sacrificed in the hope that none shall ever have to again. Peace.

I can't believe I've never in my life before seen the uniforms of the Americans during the early 19th century, I've only seen the uniforms they wore during the Civil War.

We weren't forced out, in fact the incompetence of the American artillery commander gave the British time to strengthen the fort, and eventually repel the attackers in a crushing victory

Ya the Americans tried to pull a British move on the Canadians. Like when the British attacked the Zulu Kingdom in Africa; but the Zulu were basically African Spartans, so the British were in trouble (like the Americans were).

So? They were loyal to the crown while the rest of us were busy rebelling. Stuff like that happens. I enjoyed most of my 3-year assignment in Canada.Official bi-lingualism is for the Liberal birds, but other than that... decent country, decent people. I was MOST impressed by how many people flew their personal, home maple leaf and provincial flags at half-staff on 12 Sept 2001. Thank you. This Yank won't forget your gestures and your kindness.

haha...twice tried and twice failed...I remember visiting the US side of Niagara and we talked to a uni guy dressed as a soldier of those days...he told us of his uniform...this, he said, was the summer uniform, and then he spun around and said, 'this is the winter uniform - clever. Maybe a third time? we can use the same plan because the Brits would not think of us foolish enough to try the same plan a third time :) btw, this is a fine video...:)

@MrStig691 Sorry, you're right about the blockades but in ship to ship battles the Americans (surprisingly) came out on top in most engagements.

When I was there they seemed envious of the job opportunities and basic life standards.

Time to set some facts straight about us Americans. I'm not gonna say that we won 1812 or Vietnam (my dad was drafted into the latter), but we had won significant victories in both wars, like the Battle of New Orleans, or the Siege of Khe-Sahn. I am still proud of my country's history, even though there are parts that we should not forget or repeat. I feel that if there had been a video just like this one from the American perspective, there would be a Canadian saying pretty much what I am.

Long live Canada, Long live the Commonwealth and god bless all English speaking nations.

How is he writing and fighting at the same time ??

3) Lord Wellington and his battle hardened troops, which formed the core of the allied anglo-portuguse-spanish forces in the Peninsula, had repeatedly beaten Napoleon's top generals during the Spanish campaign and all the way into southern France. And those were real battles, involving entire Army Corps, not funny skirmishes of a few hundred lads as in the Canadian campaign. Yet, Britain didn't proceed with a full-scale invasion of America, but merely cos it had never really wanted to.

Did he tell his wife to hide in the powder magazine? I couldn't tell

Victory or tie depends on the country you're in and the school you are in

Am just glad The British taught those American colonial upstarts a lesson in 1814 when they destroyed their capital. In fact I’ve a copy of The London Times dated 29th. September 1814 that contains a fascinating article on Page Two, entitled : “American Papers ---- City Of Washington Destroyed” The joint has never been the same since !

I'm no fan of the British history cause its like Rome's imperial oppressive shit. But we were asking for this, our trigger happy new militias didn't know what they were doing. We didn't even have our revolutionary soldiers left over as consultants. So we tried to do what the British did in the Battle of Isealwanda(forgive the spelling). We got OWNED! Like a kid playing dress up vs the freaking police; and when the British troops can it was like Delta Force joined in. The Canadians maybe sometimes over looked, but they are not to be underestimated. Bravo Canada.

In that case, it was the French that civilized the British in 1066.

What a useless comment

Not quite, there were several occasions when the US and Britain/Canada almost came to blows -- The Arostook War, the Mackenzie Rebellion, the Oregon dispute, The Civil War, Fenian Raids, Venezuela Boundary Disputes, not to mention the Bering Straits and Alaska boundary. Even in WW1 the British seemed to think the USA was still a colony and tried to take control of our armies. All war plans of all three countries envisioned us as enemies. It took WW2 and the Cold War to change all that.

@vespaUK125 I have never heard of the apache to be in Canada they are halfway across the continent by mexico.I am refering to Northern Canada by the Hudson Bay at Fort York.The Navajo are at the middle of the United States.In between these areas there are multiple tribes just as you would in Europe with other Nationalities with different tribes.

Were there any redcoats?

I would love to see just ONE You Tube video about history ... or anything else for that matter, which doesn't turn into a huge arguement. Grow up people.

With the Treaty of Ghent and the defeat of Napoleon the British political elite was more interested in engaging in the mutually profitable activity of trade. Trade was better than war in their eyes and I tend to agree. Relations between the US and Britain improved with the 1817 Great Lakes treaty and cooperation of the two countries' navies suppressing Cuban piracy in 1820. As the Brits and Yanks got along fairly well after that then I think it's a good point to end this discussion. ta ta:)
