Well, somebody invaded Canada during the War of 1812. But I think it was
a bunch of Fenians, not the U.S. Government's forces. I believe the
invaders were promptly tossed out.

Parse what Tom said carefully. There have been several invasions, during
the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, but Canada wasn't Canada until
1867. The Fenian Raids, you refer to, were Irish Civil War veterans, not
the USA.
