Alright so this is a major beef I have with the game and film industries. Canada always gets made fun of picked on and such. Never does Canada actually get credit for what they did in WWI, WWII, Cold War Era, Korea...etc....etc... America always takes all the credit. Infact CoD3 was the first game and the last that I know of to actually have Canadian's mentioned and active in the game.

Infact in WWII Canada had the third largest Navy in the world and one of the largest armed forces. If it weren't for Canada WWII probably would have been lost. Canada was responsable for Liberating a shit load of Europe. Yet the movies and games based on WWII always mention America and Britian sometimes even the French militaries. But what about Canada?

I find it so irritating that Canada played such a huge role in almost every major conflict this century yet nobody recognizes their contributions. Now I get it that in Europe their are mass cemetaries with Canadian soldiers and that in Europe some countries are very grateful. But it seems for the most part that everybody remembers what American's have done, what the British have done. What France what Russia etc...etc...

But Canada is almost always left out. The only times we really get mentioned is when Canadian film makers make a war movie. But even in Canada often film makers would rather glorify the mighty American's in WWII rather then give the credit that is due to our men and women in uniform.

Its so angering knowing soldiers from my country gave their lives in service and they aren't even given credit in video games or movies!

As part of the commonwealth, we (I) know what Canada has done and appreciate your help in WWI and II, along with then help Australia, New Zealand and many other commonwealth countries provided during these wars. I appreciate the help all nations involved have provided in modern conflicts as well.

It's a shame the US owns most of the film industry and games with USAian characters sell. See U-571 as a major example. (appeal to your biggest market).

It is typical human nature to remember the biggest, the best, the first and the worst. That is like asking to people who was the first on the moon and hopefully most people will know it but when you ask who was the second person a lot must admit they don't know it. Like you said most Eu countries recognize what Canada during WWII but yeah if one country did more that one will get more attention.

Edit:  You can also turn it around, how come when a bigger country messed something up with the help of other countries like Canada it is always the bigger country that gets the blame and the hate but not countries like Canada! 

Unlike the United States the population of Canada does not carry as much pride into it's military activities. There's no such thing like patriotism in Canada or for the most part at least. So even Canadians don't care.

Although I understand your perspective and agree with most of what you say the bolded is very unlikely.

Because we downplay our military strength so people don't look into our secret military projects so that we can catch them off guard if we ever need to.

Well USA was the last, the worst and I don't think it was the biggest, so if it's remembered because it's the worst why is it in a positive light (I'm not being prejudice take a look at military history particularly in the world wars)

Look at it like this. Canada was and still is part of the British Empire and therefor Canada was part of the British forces and therefor when anyone mentions what the English did you can just pretend they mean the British.

The first step in gaining a reputation as big as the USA is kicking the English out of your country. The world will continue to see Canada as England's toady for as long as the Queen is Canada's head of state.

Good luck with your revolution.

lol if you believe that you are ignorant as hell, and the USA lost to a third world country that's how bad their military is.

hahaha^
