I can't disagree with that but clearly the war is far more important to Canadians than it is to Americans. The US invaded Canada but was never really very suscessful in their attempts and aside from a small portion of south western Ontario in 1814, they were never really able to hold any captured territory. In that way, it's often veiwed as a draw because the original boundry remained the same after the war.
The main result of the war was that Canada gained nation hood and America gained lasting freedom from Great Britton. It still remains the longest undefended border in the world if you discount the drones, cameras on top of high towers, home land security and other assorted means to keep an eye on us.
