	Straight Dope Staff Report: Did the U.S. plan an invasion of Canada in the 1920s?
		The proposed invasion of Canada wasn't an end in itself; it was just the easiest way to hurt the U.K. The plan called for quickly seizing the key port of Halifax to prevent British resupply; cutting communication between eastern and western Canada by capturing Winnipeg; securing bridgeheads near Buffalo, Detroit, and Sault Ste.
		It was being used by the supporters of William Lyon Mackenzie, the leader of a rebellion against British authority in Canada.
		Canada had hoped to receive reparations from the U.S. for the Fenian attacks, but it was not to be.

		On the first week in April, 1866, IRB President, John O’Mahoney assumed the rank of General in his Irish Republican Army and began assembling a force of 1,000 men in Calais and Eastport, Maine.
		The plan was to be set in motion on May 31st, 1866 when the main Irish Republican Army of 16,800 men was to cross the border at Buffalo and spearhead a three-pronged attack on Lower Canada moving through Toronto to Montreal and on to Quebec City.

	A Canadian Flag for Canada
		Perceiving Canada as but a roomy extension of the old country, the British settler carried with him a nostalgia for his former home, and this nostalgia gradually congealed into a vision of a distant land of consummate grandeur, power, justice, and freedom.
		The Native Sons of Canada arranged for miniature copies of their favourite to be delivered to every member of parliament, where, on May 12, they bloomed in the House on the desks of thirteen members of the Créditiste party.
		Yet, for Canada, this distinction is crucial, for in its absence, the order-in-council of September 5, 1945, which only authorized the "flying of the Canadian Red Ensign wherever place or occasion may make it desirable to fly a distinctive Canadian flag," would have created a national flag.

	Immigration Reports, Canada, 1870s
		The figures given, it is true, show simply the numbers of those who announced themselves as coming to settle in Canada; and the natural subsequent movements of our population to and from the United States, may, to some extent, be held to affect their entire accuracy.
		It has been already explained that the immigrants who enter Canada at the several ports consist of two classes, viz: those who come to settle in the country and those who use the Canadian route as the best to go to the United States.
		It appears from the above figures, that there was an increase in the total number of settlers in Canada in 1877, as compared with 1876, while there is a very marked decrease of nearly 50 per cent.

	Roll of Regiments of British North America in 1866
		The Dominion of Canada was formed on 29 March 1867, federating the Province of Canada (and dividing it into the new Provinces of Quebec and Ontario), and New Brunwick and Nova Scotia, and bringing all under the control and organisation of the Canadian Militia Acts.
		While many regiments stretch their unofficial lineages through the county Sedentary Militia to the 18th century, the government of Canada does not officially recognise any continuity before the Militia Act of 1855 which established an Active Militia in independent companies.
		While the 1860 numbering was in order of precedence within the Province of Canada (Quebec and Ontario in one sequence), gaps in the numbering soon occurred, and these vacant numbers were later sometimes filled by junior regiments from any of the ten provinces.
