They also took in the rest of the Confederacy after the civil war. That’s why we have Confederate flag waving idiots in Canada.

Really? Can you point me to something I can read about this? I always assumed it’s because American politics seeps across the border, even when it doesn’t make sense, and they agree with the confederate flag guys about other things like hating the gays.

After a quick skim, do any of these talk about the flag connection? We absolutely sheltered every kind of fleeing American through history, but AFAIK the whole phenomenon about that flag was much more recent, and it wasn’t even the one the confederacy usually used.
