canadian army moved the farthest in land on dday they also defeated the germans in ww1 at vimy ridge where french british and american had failed also is noted in history that the germans rather fight the british or americans than the canadian army back in 1812 yes we fought the as british subjects but we did defeat your armies the united states actually lost land in the final battles which was given back in the peace agreement
"Crosspatch here K-9. Small correction to urs above: Americans were "no shows" for Vimy. They never entered WWI until Apr. 6 1917. The taking of Vimy by Canadians occurred April 9 -12, 1917 after the British and French had failed so grievously previous to that. Americans never had any ground troops in the trenches at the time of Vimy."
Edit/addition to my correction above to K-9. The Germans took Vimy at the start of the war in Sept. 1914 and held it for the next 2 1/2 yrs despite the best the Brits and French could do. Canadians took it in 4 days cause they were for the first time in the war allowed to call the "shots" themselves instead of the Brits. By the standards of the day the Canadians achieved an outstanding victory w "only" 3,600 killed. It was achieved by thinking outside the box i.e. not doing what the Brits and French had lost 10's of thousands of lives at in the previous 2 1/2 yrs.

How many wars have Canada been in where they supplied the majority of troops, arms, machinery than other countries. It is easy to say they never lost a war when they were part of a team and were not the most major factor in winning that war. Canada was in both world wars from the start and sent a good percentage of their young men thru volunteer and conscription. You guys were like the fat kid in the playground and only got in at the end of each war,when you were sure you would be on the winning side. The United States saved your brother Brits and you from speaking German. You should never loose site of that fact. If we had stayed out of it any longer you would have been eating sour kraut with your tea you ungrateful twit. LLL

And Tecumseh Was killed a year later in Ontario Canada. He was 45, sometimes I wonder if the prophet hadn't broke from his brother how history would of changed. He was instrumental in stirring up the red sticks down south as he wanted a general uprising among the tribes in support of the British.

Sometimes a nations pride is displayed on its currency, note the US coins vs the Canadian ones. BOTH of the Canadian coins feature the queen on the face side. Y'all get extra credit for the beaver though. Yalls paper money is quite colorful and since you have a 1 and 2 dollar coin, why not a pink$3 dollar bill with comrade Trudeau on the face side? I have my boots on, I know i have waded in it so fire away lol

Am I the only one who could see Boco bragging he pinned down a 4 month old baby and is thus a better fighter, when the baby is now 24 and the World's Mixed Martial Arts Champion?
Canada is not a world power now or ever. The US is the strongest country in the world now beyond doubt.
Keith Yea right-how come you cant win any wars on your own then ? The camel humpers in Afghanistan got you on the run,lol. 20 years there and the Taliban overuns the place in a few days,lol.

LOL.
Just for giggles-out of the top 5 snipers in the world 3 are Canucks,1 Brit and 1 Aussie. Not surprising since we grow up with guns in our hands hunting.

They do however make kills on valued targets. Bombers, artillery, and guided missile strikes are clearly the force continuum.

Alaska has the western front coast of North Americas northern region. I bet we have more firepower, F-22s, nukes and early warning systems here than all of Canada. Shhhh…. Boco is reminiscing on some sniper kill somewhere by someone from Canada.

Canada was in both world wars from the start Except you WERENT.Your leader "Fearing an Anglo-French cleavage,did NOT send conscripts overseas during the early years of the war,prefering to avoid such a move unless absolutely necessary"

Canada never sent conscripts over til late in both WW's cause there were plenty of patriots/volunteers that did not need to be told what their duty was. Yes many of the French were odd given their ancestral country was jerked over so bad by the Germans in both WW's. Britain was hardly scratched in either war compared to France. Most of the Allied fighting was done by the British Commonwealth countries and territories, the Soviets (post May 1941), and a lot of resistance and escaped people from the occupied countries. Quite a few Americans volunteered for the Allied forces too pre Pearl Hr. This went on from Sept. '39 til Dec. '41 when the "sleeping giant/USA" was awoken by the Japanese according to their top naval strategist Admiral Yamamoto.
