Canada entered WWII less than a week after Great Britain did so in September of 1939 whereas 85% of the U.S. population still opposed U.S. entry into WWII more than two years later, on December 6th, 1941. This only changed after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour on December 7th, 1941 AND the declaration of war on the U.S. by Germany on the same day. Does this mean that the U.S. did not do its share in winning WWII? Of course not. U.S. contributions in WWI and WWII were decisive. However, it does mean that Canada did its share in both WWI and WWII, long before the U.S. entered either conflict, and has nothing to apologize for as recce guy has noted in post #19 of this thread.

Apologies to CeDex. My post #20 was intended for Joseph_CutlerUSA who seems to think poorly of Canada's war efforts, but overlooks some salient history.
