America strikes when trying to claim land on Canadian soil!
I was looking through some news and this is what I came across: As usual we know America always tries to invade countries and claim the ownership of "possession" which is NOT THEIRS TO BEGIN WITH!
U.S. Claims Canada's Side Of Niagara Falls As Its Own In Tourism Video

It's the land of the free, the home of the brave, and apparently also home to something else: Niagara Falls.
A new U.S. tourism video displaying the sights and attractions in America includes a shot of something distinctly Canadian - Horseshoe Falls, the only one of Niagara's three waterfalls that's almost entirely on Canadian soil. The two other waterfalls, the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls which both lie on the U.S. side, weren't shown in the Disney-produced promotional video released last week by the U.S. departments of State and Homeland Security.
Among the other sights on Welcome: Portraits of America, the surf in Hawaii, the Grand Canyon and the fall colours in New England. The inclusion of the Canadian-based landmark will undoubtedly ruffle a few feathers on both sides of the border.
"This is not the United States, this is 100 percent Canada, shot from the Canadian side," Niagara Falls, N.Y. historian and author Paul Gromosiak said after watching the video. "This is an insult." He adds that a visitor to the U.S. wouldn't be able to get that sight of the Falls because it's shot from a vantage point in Ontario.
Though the boundary between New York and Ontario isn't marked with a line, Horseshoe has always been seen as the Canadian side of the Falls and American and Bridal Veil Falls the American side.
The video is to be played at airports in the U.S., starting at Dulles International outside Washington, D.C. and George Bush Intercontinental in Houston. It'll also be shown at U.S. embassies abroad.
State Department spokesperson Sean McCormack, when asked about the shot, described Niagara Falls as "a shared natural wonder, a gateway for both our countries and anyone looking at the video will understand how proud America is to share it with Canada."
Watch the video at Discover America.
What an embarassment! One thing that needs to be understood.. When you try to steal something which is NOT YOURS.... YOU will always be caught.. sooner or later!!.
