Um, have any information that proves that?

i did a bunch of essays on the canadain contribution. Im not saying that the USA didnt contrubtue, because they did alot, but from my research most of the USA fighting was done in the pacific, not in europe. thats all

My father in law was in the Black Watch in Canada.
It is Veterans Day here in the US. My father was on LST 543 in WWII. When asked what LST stood for he said he forgot what the Navy said but he and his sshipmates knew it as Long Slow Target. \
Those who have served and those still serving are honored today.

aomike all I can say is that you must have some hell of a pride in Canada for making a statement like that.


Without the USA everyone would be speaking German or Japanese. The rest of the allies helped out greatly but the USA was the deciding factor. Plain and simple.



But this debate isn't for today. My hat is off to all that have served. They deserve our respect.

You should tell my grandpa who was on the beach at normandy that,or his brother who died there .

C'mon guys, Americans died at Normandy, Canadians died there too, lots of people died in WWII and all the other wars too. Why turn a day meant to honour the fallen into an international pissing contest. Nobody here cares how big you say your country's dick is.

We'd all lose out to the African countries...

I actually wrote a paper once about a utopian society based solely on penis size.
