The Historical facts are....
U.S Attacked part of Canada.... (During the time in which Canada was part of and under British rule/territory).
In retaliation around 1812, Brits burned down the White House. Canada was under British rule from 1763 – 1867.

Canada did not exist as a country until 1867. In fact between 1791 and 1841, Canada did not exist at all. During this time, we had Lower Canada and Upper Canada: two British colonies.
Trump asked Trudeau: "Didn't you guys burn down the White House?" No, they didn't, the British did.
Trump is still an idiot.

BTW, from your article:

In terms of the specifics of Trump’s contention, it does not appear that Canadians were literally involved in the capture of Washington

Just so we are clear. So when Trump asked "Didn't you guys burn down the White House?", (altogether now), the answer is a resounding No
