This is just one of thousands of examples of immense disrespect. And his cult follows him along through everything.

I'm all seriousness, if you find this appealing, would you not be happier if you just move there? If you have no allegiance to this country, please be respectful, have some dignity, and don't actively try to ruin it for the rest of us. Stop trying to sabotage this country by actively undermining it.

Actually, it was the Canadian soldiers that marched through Italy; the Canadian soldiers that marched north to Denmark and protected the American flank; the Canadian landing at Juno beach which not only protected the American flank, but pushed further and faster, greeting the American troops as they finally pushed off of their beachhead; the Canadian top command that developed the more efficient ways of fighting a modern battle, especially the results learned from the essentially Canadian Dieppe raid (which WAS successful, the Canadians got off the beach and made it to the post office for what they went for); the Canadian scientists that worked on the development of the Atomic bomb long before the Manhattan Project, and went on to establish Chalk River; the Canadian merchant marine that kept Britain supplied during the war... the list goes on and on. You do not need to be a tankie, just a good student of Canadian history.

Unfortunately for our Canadian legacy, we do not brag.

Probably for the best we don't draw attention to all our warcrimes lol

They were not war crimes when we did them, that came later when the world looked at us and went WTF Canada???

I'm not really sure that's entirely true.
But in either case I don't think being technically innocent really helps our reputation as much as being actually innocent would

You can't have a war without having 'war crimes'. Even n organized sports, they have referees and penalties for disobeying the rules.
