## Resource

This week our Canadian-Australian friend Alasdair Tremblay-Birchall tells us all about the War of 1812, fought between the United States and the United Kingdom. This story, integral to the history of Canada results in the Capture of Washington and the burning of many buildings, including The White House. This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 12:59 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
