Canada has never been to war as a whole, but, they do aid other countries in their battles. Their veterans deserve just as much respect as ours do. I will remember veterans from all countries (except Saddam's terrorist group). Thank you Island.

Dont get me wrong, I didnt mean anything bad by what I said, I was just curious. I think anyone who has served for any country deserved respect for that.

I was not "getting you wrong:, you asked a direct question, and I gave you a direct answer.

Did Canada ever go to war?
No, but they aided a lot of other countries at war.

Question anwered.

Canada actually played a major part in the second (and presumably first) world war. Without the Canadians, the invasion at Normandy would not have been possible. And without the British, we wouldn't have the term "the full monty"

"Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, "We don't know how lucky we are." And the Cuban stopped and said," How lucky you are?! I had someplace to escape to." In that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth."

--Ronald Reagan

God bless our veterans for making America freedom's "last stand on earth."

Um, there is Europe. And Canada. Oz. Parts of Africa.

Of course, no one would be free if it weren't for the collective sacrifice of the veterans from all those free nations.

I really don't think we should be worried about who played a more significant role. The Allied Forces won the war. It is safe to say that if ANY of the countries in the Allied Forces had not been present, then we would all probably be in trouble today. I thank all countries that have fought for the advancement of freedom and human liberty.
