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!

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

Well D-day wouldn't have happened or been successful without Canada. The Allies tested the German defences and ran a test D-Day on Dieppe sending in 6,500 Canadians to land on a beach. They got massacred and the allies retreated learning alot about the german defences. Then Canada was in charge of landing off Juno Beach one of the beaches of D-Day. Also don't forget that Canada pretty much liberated the Netherlands (Holland). Also with the third largest Navy in the world Canada is hugely responsable for keeping Britians ass safe. Also the Canadian Navy prevented the German's from controlling the North Atlantic and protected all those American ships headed to Europe.
Without Canada WWII could have ended very differently for the allies.

Don't get me wrong I fully believe WWII would have gone on for quite a while longer without Canada but to lose to the Axis? Unlikely.
