Whom is the Emperor of America? Should the US retreat from Haiti?

Do Canadians belong in Afghanistan? Do they belong in Haiti?

Brig. Gen. Guy Laroche led Canadian troops in Cyprus, Bosnia and Afghanistan.

I can't find any references to the American Empire but the British Empire is quite prominent:

The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom, that had originated with the overseas colonies and trading posts established by England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. At its height it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922, the British Empire held sway over a population of about 458 million people, one-quarter of the world's population,and covered more than 13,000,000 square miles approximately a quarter of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its political, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, it was often said that "the sun never sets on the British Empire" because its span across the globe ensured that the sun was always shining on at least one of its numerous territories.

Wasn't it the British that left a bad taste in the mouths of these colonists?
