As Canada was not a country it is difficult to determine who was "Canadian", although many people residing in Upper and Lower Canada, as well as British immigrants, made an impact during the war: * Major General Sir Isaac Brock- British commander of troops in 1812; with the help of Tecumseh's native warriors, captured Fort Detroit without spilling any blood; killed at Queenston Heights leading a charge against the Americans, which repulsed the American invasion and ensured that Canada would remain free from occupation. * James Fitzgibbon- Brock's lieutenant; after the war, he would succeed in breaking up the Upper Canadian Rebellion. * Laura Secord- famously acquired information about an American attack and informed the British. * Sir George Prevost- Governor General of Canada; his policies often conflicted with Brock's strategy. * Charles-Michel D'Irumberry de Salaberry- successfully defended Lower Canada from the American invasion.
