You're admitting Britain encouraged the tribes to commit terrorism against
American settlers on the frontier.
America bought land from the French and were engaged in western expansion.
They didn't invade Canada - that's not what started the war.
If there had been any serous plans to do that, they would have had the US
military in a state of readiness instead of neglect, going into the War of
1812.
