The burning of the white house is basically the Canadian equivalent of wewuzzery. A bunch of British people won a battle against the Americans, therefore Canada (which did not exist yet) "kicked their asses".
In reality the entire war was a complete waste of time and resources for both sides and nobody likes talking about it because it was boring and embarrassing for everyone.

If it weren't for Andrew Jackson, nobody would give a shit about that war. Well, they'd give even less of a shit.
