Redcoats in Toronto? Americans Said, "Bet." 🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸

The Tea is Piping Hot

Okay, so get this: the American Bar Association, or ABA for short, is holding a whole conference in Toronto. Sounds chill, right? Wrong! The plot thickens because the ABA's house of delegates was like, "Yo, let's get some War of 1812 redcoat re-enactors to welcome everyone."

Now, some people are sus about this timing. Like, hello? There's a whole trade war going on between the U.S. and Canada rn. One expert was straight-up like, "This could be the ABA throwing shade at Trump's trade policies." Shots fired? Maybe. But, the head of the ABA's house of delegates is playing it down, saying it's all about the long-standing alliance between the two countries. They're like, "Nah, fam, it's just history."

Let's not forget the history deets. Back in the day, American troops kinda clapped Toronto, then known as York. And the British? They retaliated by torching the White House. Savage! Now, Fort York Guard, those student re-enactors, are gonna be part of the ABA meeting. It's like a history lesson served with a side of side-eye.

Some sources are saying this whole trade war sitch is just a "blip" and that the U.S. and Canada will get over it. But others are saying the War of 1812 was Canada's "war of independence." It's all a bit extra, tbh. Whether it's a subtle diss or just a history flex, the redcoats in Toronto are def making a statement.
