The USA has been defending them since Hitler or longer.
>True, but not since Hitler.
Canada, as a percentage of their population, probably sacrificed more than America to defeat Hitler. Most Brits who fought against Hitler, will tell you the Canadians were their best and toughest fighters.
If I’m not mistaken, I think Canada fielded an entire Army in Europe. America had many more soldiers on the field, of course, but not as a percentage of each countries population.
Trudope, not so much.
Canada was the Commonwealth’s breeding ground for fighter aces and Victoria Crosses. Of course, those days are long gone.
You Yanks should’t base your judgment of Canada on a panty-waist PM like Trudeau, any more than we judge America based on your panty-waist President Obama.
The Canadian military has a proud history, in spite of recent social engineering of the same type that is infecting the US military. The Canadian Army was on the doorstep of Rome in 1944 when the Americans were still crawling along the coast from Anzio (and had to wait for two days to permit the Americans to set up the camera crews for the entry to Rome). Had Clarke done his job and cut off the German retreat, instead of grandstanding towards Rome, the war in Italy would have ended months earlier and freed up troops for the push through France and Holland. Many thousands of American, Canadian and British troops died needlessly in the mountains north of Rome because of Clark’s stupidity.
The average Canadian outside the major urban centres is small-c conservative. Unfortunately the waves of immigration (95% of which ends up in a handful of major cities) have greatly reduced our ability to influence national elections. Don’t p*ss on your friends.
Ok, let’s assume. That’s half of it
And Japs defeated America, then what?
