Candian Broadcasting Company-Canada declares war on Germany
Broadcast Date: Sept. 3, 1939
War!
On Sept. 10, 1939, a special session of Parliament approves Prime Minister Mackenzie King’s request that Canada join the war in Europe. The decision, seen by most Canadians as inevitable, comes exactly one week after England and France declare war on Nazi Germany.
It is the first time that Canadians make their own declaration of war as a sovereign nation.

Excerpt.
The forces of evil have been loosed in the world in a struggle between the pagan conception of a social order which ignores the individual and is based upon the doctrine of might, and a civilization based upon the Christian conception of the brotherhood of man, with its regard for the sanctity of contractual relations and the sacredness of human personality.
Refreshingly straighforward, but isn't he afraid this will just make the pagans hate us more?
