Canada and the US have been close allies for 200 years. The last time they fought was 1812
Edit: I was wrong, we have only been close allies for 130 years
Not 200 years. The last major conflict was the War of 1812 but relations weren’t rosy until the Great Rapprochement starting around 1895. The period inbetween saw the Fenian Raids, Patriots’ War, Britain’s tacit support of the Confederacy and the Trent Affair, and disputes around the Oregon Country and Alaska border. Hell, Confederation happened mostly because of fears of the US’s growing power after its civil war.
Fair, but on March 26 the initial Schengen-Borders will have been basically nonexistent for 30 years.
