   Dear people of British North America. We have some sad news to deliver. Our newspaper has been discontinued, due to lack of war and excitement in this great country... We are sad to say goodbye, and goodnight for the very last time, but we very much enjoyed writing this newspaper. We sincerely hope we brought joy into your daily life, and filled you up with lots of important information.

Yours truly,

     Well good evening folks! This just in, the Rideau Canal has just been finished, and is ready to go! If you didn't know, the Rideau Canal was built by Lieutenant-Colonel John By, and the big project started 6 years ago! Holy mack! The Canal is located between the Ottawa River and Lake Ontario. The purpose of this was to connect the two bodies of water to transport supplies and troops. It was placed north of the St. Lawrence so it would be safe from American attackers, and transportation for British troops would be much more efficient. The area where the Canal was built has now taken on the name of Bytown.
     As you know, because of the war, there are not as many crops in this region, which has led to food prices sky rocketing up. But you can still get some pretty good steals at your local market today, so be sure to stock up!
   
     Well, that's all for today! Check back later for more B.N.A. Today!

     BREAKING NEWS! The war has finally ended!! The British and Americans have finally signed a treaty, all the way in Ghent, Belgium. Nothing has changed much, neither side has gained or lost anything. But we can only hope that British North America will be at peace, at least for now.

Tune in later for more breaking news, in B.N.A!

     Listen one, listen all! We all know that the Americans burned many places in York a while back. Well, the British have been planing pay back. As of yesterday, they marched to the United States of America, and they plan to burn the government building, The White House. As well as many other parts of the city, Washington. Then their next move will be to Baltimore, the plan to bomb Fort McHenry, the cities protection. I have a feeling now that the British are even, we might see this war come to an end. One can only hope!

     Thats all for now folks!

     Folks, I am sorry to say. I have news. The Battle of Lundy's Lane, has finished. Both sides, the British and Americans, have both had tremendous losses of over 800. Although I am happy to say, the British have won! This news isn't all sad one might say. We can only hope that this is the last battle. I only say this because this battle has been the biggest one, with the most losses. May I only bring good news next time. That's B.N.A. Today for now.

     FOLKS! FOLKS! I'm reporting this live! About 13,000 Americans are advancing on Montreal! Two days ago 2,000 Americans attacked Crysler's Farm, now today, right now, the British are fighting the Americans army, with only 900 of them! They seem too be holding firm. Oh what's this? The Americans seem to be retreating! With only a minor army, the British and First Nations have defeated the 13,000 Americans folks! 13,000!

Wow was that amazing! I'll be back with more news from B.N.A.!

     Laura Secord has brought news to me on the field. She travelled on foot to tell the British General Fitzgibbons. The American troops were caught in a crossfire. Then Fitzgibbon offered to stop fire, if they laid down their arms and surrendered. Which they did well who wouldn't! Bringing another British victory home!

That's all for now folks!
