Canada was not a country, nor did it have its own army. While Indigenous peoples of Canada did help the British army fight the Americans (and eventually burn down the White House), it would not really be accurate to say that Canada, a mere colony, was at war with the United States in the War of 1812.

Yeah, I am Canadian and I love the War of 1812, and it would be inaccurate to say "Canada" fought that war. Canadians, sure, but the nation involved was the UK.

Any war is a pretty ridiculous thing to claim to "love."

They certainly loved doing war crimes in WW1, they had quite a ferocious reputation back then. As for 1812 as I understand they learn in school that they won and beat the Americans so they feel real patriotic about beating Americans at stuff even if the claim is pretty dubious. It's like saying Americans beat the Nazis in WW2. Possibly sillier.

Can you accept alcohol? I never thought I'd ask anyone that, most people would just snatch it out of your hands.

Ethanol is better known as gasohol or E10. Neither were accepted and probably should be. IMHO
