Weren't the Canadians given one of the toughest beaches to attack on D-day, merely as a diversionary tactic?

Bless them for joining in this battle.

The Canadians had Juno. A dicey do.

Also, the year before, the Canadians experienced the disaster of Dieppe in which valuable lessons were learned that contributed to the success of D Day.

But remember that the Yanks had Bloody Omaha.

Yep. Canadians were the only Allied force that day to reach all of their objectives, too. ;)
