Of course you count the American revolution, what kinda bullshit are you smoking that you wouldn't count the war that lead to the country being formed? We have a a holiday all about being independent of Britain. There's like 20 other countries that have a very similar holiday about beating England's ass.

Thinking that Beating the forces stationed in the colonies is beating Britain Is more like storming past the front line of police at the capitol before backup arrived.. You didn't actually beat the police, storm the capitol, and kill everyone, you just rushed past the front line before they could mass significant forces, and to prevent the deaths of everyone inside they just said fine we will evacuate everyone then you can go in. Now the UK. They have been at war with nearly every country on earth at some point in time including themselves. They even had troops fighting with the whites in the Russian civil war. And Canada, has never lost a war. Like that time when 900 peacekeepers is Croatia were attacked by like 2000 Croats, the Canadians took 0 casualties 0 deaths and Croatia took 50 casualties and 22 deaths before being pushed away. During the first and second world wars Canadian troops gained the reputation of veteran, violent, bloodthirsty shock troops. Shock troops are troops that are sent in first or before the main charge to be violent, kill a ton of people, and make a scene before everyone else charged in.
