Apparently Canadians Did Help Burn US Capitol

British forces in the U.S.A. 1812-1814 had quite a large element of Canadians in them. A quote from google search ...

"Without native allies the Canadian and British forces would have been overwhelmed. A "typical" British force in 1812 to 1814 would be 400 British Regulars, 200 Canadian regulars (fencibles), 200 Canadian Militia and 300 natives. Roughly 1/4 to 1/3 of armies in Canada were Indian troops."

Of course the Washington Post and other media are attacking the President for his jibe at Canadian Prime Minister Truedeau.

Canada was a British colony in 1812 and had a large left-wing imperial army of more than 6,000 soldiers stationed there. Many were likely to be Canadian.

I should also point out that Canadians were part of the Devil's Brigade that became the first Special Service Force (with U.S. Rangers) during the Second World War. They trained in Helena Montana. That unit had more than 230% casualties (it kept refilling as people died).
