'Didn't you guys burn down the White House?' Trump uses War of 1812 to justify Canada as security threat.

Some men from Canada did burn down the presidential mansion in 1814, but they were all technically British.

During a testy phone call with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, U.S. president Donald Trump reportedly cited the War of 1812 in order to justify seeing Canada as a security threat.

“Didn’t you guys burn down the White House?” he told Trudeau, according to sources cited by CNN.

The reason for the call was the U.S. imposition of tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, which Trump has justified on national security grounds.

The new tariffs, announced last week, sparked disbelief from across the political spectrum in Canada. For more than a century, the United States has had no problem building military equipment out of Canadian raw materials. Most famously, the country’s first atomic bombs were fuelled in part by Canadian uranium.

“Canada is a secure supplier of aluminum and steel to the U.S. Defence industry, putting aluminum in American planes and steel in American tanks,” Trudeau said last week. “That Canada could be considered a national security threat to the United States is inconceivable.”

Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland made the same argument in a CNN appearance, saying “do you really think Canada … represents a national security threat to you?”

Trudeau was apparently arguing Canada’s loyalty directly to the U.S. president when Trump fired back about the Burning of Washington.

In August of 1814, the U.S. federal capital was indeed invaded and burned by troops based in what is now Canada. Facing little to no resistance, the soldiers destroyed both the U.S. Capitol and the presidential mansion in one day of looting and destruction.

The current-day White House, from which Trump was likely taking Trudeau’s call, had to be mostly rebuilt as a result of the fire.

However, the soldiers who sacked Washington were all British.

Granted, at the time Canada was still a British colony and any resident there would have been considered British.

However, the soldiers who burned down Washington were all expeditionary troops sent direct from Great Britain, unlike the local militias and Indigenous warriors who had done much of the fighting during earlier U.S. attempts to invade what is now Ontario.

And, of course, the nation of Canada that Trudeau represents would not officially come into being until 53 years after the events of that war.

Nevertheless, the War of 1812 remains the last full-scale conflict that pitted Canadian against American, and it remains a point of contention between both countries. Notably, the citizenship guide for both the United States and Canada each claims that their country won the war.

In retaliation for the U.S. tariffs, Canada has proposed a $16.6-billion tariff package on common Canadian imports from the United States, including beer kegs, appliances and decorative candles.

This “Healthy” Drink Destroys Your Thyroid & Is Linked To Breast Cancer!

Numerous people started consuming soy milk instead of soy milk in an attempt to improve their health. This milk has no lactose, so vegans, individuals who avoid dairy, and those who suffer from lactose intolerance, prefer soy milk.

Fortified soy milk is high in calcium, protein, B vitamins and iron, but low in saturated fats and cholesterol.

However, apparently, scientists have found that the consumption of soy milk can seriously endanger health. Its effects have been a topic of controversy for many years, but there is a significant amount of evidence that indicates that soy milk severely endangers the body.

These are the ingredients of this milk:

•Soymilk (Filtered water, whole soybeans)

•Cane Sugar

•Riboflavin

•Vitamin B12

•Vitamin A palmitate

•Carrageenan

•Calcium Carbonate

•Vitamin D2

•Sea Salt

•Natural Flavor.

The majority of the ingredients surely sound familiar, but you probably haven’t heard of carrageenan. It is a member of the family of linear sulfated polysaccharides which are extracted from red edible seaweeds.

They are commonly used in the food industry due to their stabilizing, gelling, and thickening properties.

The digestion of carrageenan is harmful to the body, and it has no nutritional value. In fact, it is destructive to the immune system, even though it is derived from a natural source.

It leads to a negative immune response which causes inflammation. Studies have found a link between carrageenan and the increased colon cancer rate, as well as gastrointestinal inflammation which can lead to chronic diarrhea, IBS, spastic colon, and inflammatory bowel disease.

What is most important is to always be well informed in order to make the best decision when it comes to your dietary choices.

Here are 10 reasons why you should avoid soy milk:

Soy involves plant estrogens known as phytoestrogens, which disrupt the function of the endocrine system and can cause infertility and breast cancer in women.

Around 99% of soy is GMO, meaning that it has one of the highest pesticide contamination levels.

The process of production of soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein exposes the fragile soy proteins to high temperatures, which makes them harmful for human digestion.

Soy foods are rich in aluminum, which is toxic to the body, and negatively affects the kidney and the nervous system. Moreover, aluminum has been associated with Alzheimer’s.

Soybeans also involve haemagglutinin, which is a clot-promoting substance which forced red blood cells to clump together.

Soy also has toxic isoflavones – genistein and daidzein, which trigger the growth of existing breast cancer.

The spray-drying process leads to the formation of nitrates, which are powerful carcinogens.

Soybeans are rich in natural toxins that affect estrogen levels. The consumption of just two glasses of soy milk daily dramatically changes the hormones in a woman’s body and leads to disruptions of the menstrual cycle.

Soybeans and soy products are rich in phytic acid, which inhibits the assimilation of iron, magnesium, calcium, zinc, and copper.

Soy foods are also rich in goitrogens which inhibit the thyroid hormone production.
