The current 50-star American flag was adopted in 1960. As such, this picture must be representative of a time before then. However, the Canadian flag used in this picture wasn't adopted until 1965. Therefore, TIME PARADOX!!!

Fanartists forget alot of things, sometimes they'll draw Prussia as a nazi even though if I'm right the real-life Prussia was against that.

Prussia was a democratic republic until it was the government was ousted in a coup. After Hitler took power, Prussia became subject to the Third Reich.
In other words, no, they were in fact Nazis, at least in that they fought on the Nazi's side during the war.
Incorrect. The Canadian milita may have repelled the American Invasion, but America succeeded in what became a defensive war. Although do remember that America had almost all of Ontario under her control. Technically speaking, what we call Canada today was still in the hands of England, Canada wasn't formed until 1867. America went to war with England in 1812, not Canada. This was, among several other reasons, over England force-boarding American shipping and kidnapping American sailors to serve in their Navy, I know, my ancestor was one of them. The official stance of the United States, the United Kingdoms, and Canada (each being their respective Governments) is that 'all sides won and lost', while giving the technical listing of 'stalemate'. However, it's been ackowledged (by England's military institute) that, had the war continued, the US would have won provided they had followed Monroe's redesigned offensive strategy. Although that called for some drastic measures on par or worse then during the revolution itself. If I recall correctly, one (semi-rejected) plan called for starting mass oil-induced wildfires over variant British controlled regions, burning down what would amount to about 60% of North America's forests by modern estimate. Which would have been well possible given America's frontiersman/mountain-man population of the time that were getting sick of the war and would have been willing to resort to such drastic measures. ...just be glad it ended in a stalemate.
...I'm going to move on along now before this case of Wall-of-text-itus gets any worse.
From 1976 to 2007 it was the tallest free-standing structure in the world, and has only just been unseated by Burj Khalifa in Dubai. So far as Canadian national landmarks go, it's one of the most recognizable despite the occasional mixup with the space needle :P.
