Actually, again go read some REAL history... Canada declared war on Germany only a day or two after England did. Canada was in it from the get go. It was the Americans that were late to the party.

Again, this is why I can only take this place in small doses and rarely post. Its exhausting debating with people who prefer to revise history for their own purposes.

Sleeping giant question was a serious one. I didnt know where the author of that statement was going and wanted an answer.

So where is a "jerk like me" inaccurate?
It wasn't the author, it was me. The sleeping giant I was referring to was Russia. Hitler had a treaty with them for a reason, he KNEW that threat and later got cocky and that threat made itself manifest when he attaked. Look at it this way. Do you think the Allies would have been able to do what they did hadn't a massive German force not been occupied on the Eastern Front?
SwatMedic, you lumped American and Canadians in your statement about doing it for their own interests. While that may be true for the USA it CERTAINLY was not the reason Canada entered the war. This is why I suggested a remedial history lesson.
Dude, I didn't see anyone say that. That's not permitted.
Canada is not forgotten by those most closely involved and affected by Canadian involvement... just ask the Brits and especially the Dutch. Canada is only forgotten by the Americans. Shame really.
