i want to clarify a point.

the russians & chinese were, by far, the most damaged nations in the anti-nazi alliance. it's not even close.

but, of the five eyes nations and satellites in africa and south america, as well as india, canada was hit harder and contributed more than any other nation.

we fucking hated the nazis, and we fought hard to wipe them out.

while we should be sombre and reflective - and are - it's also a justified point of pride, and if you ask canadians, it comes out, when pushed.
