“What would a Canadian know about fighting?”

You don’t know much about Canadian history. For instance, read up about Passchendaele in WWI, where the Canadians — under incredibly poor conditions (rain, mud, debris, etc.) defeated the Germans and captured the objective. It can be debated — and it was — as to the necessity of the action, especially since the objective was abandoned not long after the victory; but there is no doubt about the bravery of the Canadians who won the battle.

Yep, and unlike the US which waited it out, Canada declared War on Germany right after the invasion of Poland.
