Firstly, the re-enactors are largely both Canadian and American (although there may be a few Brits in the mix, too...not sure).
Since Britain won the War of 1812 on behalf of Canada - why wouldn't someone want to portray troops on the winning side? And they don't "come down from Canada" - the re-enactment at Fort Erie is in Ontario, Canada - not the U.S.
