Yes Canada was involved. \n\n1,000,000 Canadians involved - directly, or indirectly\nApproximately 42,000 killed or having died in service and 54,400 wounded
392825
The former U.S.S.R.\n\n"Possibly 62 million people died in the war; with estimates varying greatly. Most were civilians, as a result of the large-scale aerial bombing of cities, disease, starvation, and genocide. It is guessed that the Soviet Union suffered around 23 million deaths, and that China suffered about 10 million. Poland suffered the most deaths in proportion to its population of any country, losing approximately 5.6 million out of a pre-war population of 34.8 million."

Yes, however some 4,000 members of the Special Attack Forces (Tokkotai) gave their lives for Japan during WWII. They sank 34 allied ships and damaged 288 more. More than 12,000 Americans were killed in kamikaze attacks, some 36,400 were wounded. According to a Japanese account 80 percent of the American losses at the end of WWII could be attributed to kamikaze pilots. Almost 60 years later few former kamikaze pilots survive.

Well it is nice to see Americans saying nice things about us.\n\nTo be honest, the last war between Canada and the US was fought in 1812.  Most Americans do not remember this war, but for us it is very important.\n\nYou need to remember that this was only 40 years after the Americans revolted against England.  Loyalists were persecuted and fled the US for their lives and had to resettle in a colder harsher climate.  Canada was still an English colony, and a large number of Americans were immigrating to get free land in the west.\n\nAt the time, Napolean was have a great time in Europe conquering countries and England was fighting for its life.  They were halting shipping and trade with France to try and put them at a disadvantage and losing sailors to desertion and death.  Americans still had a British accent and some Americans were pressed into British Naval service because they were "perceived" as deserters...\n\nRemember too that the US was not the superpower as it is now.  It was a backwater little country of no importance to countries like Germany, France and England.\n\nBecause the US had no navy or troops to speak of back then, rather than taking the fight to England which would be suicide, they felt that Canada would be an easy target.  They're cut off from England, 1/10 the population, most of them were Americans anyway.  So in democratic fashion, they elected officers, each state voted whether to participate or not, and off to war they went.\n\nThey were surprised.  First we had Sir General Isaac Brock who prepped the south western part of Ontario for an attack and the Americans found Canadians waiting.  Second we had Tecumseh and his army.  They were pushed out the US and found a home here in Canada.  They helped big time with support and scouting and raiding American territory.\n\nThirdly, we just didn't want to become Americans.  Colonist volunteers swelled the ranks of the British regulars as well as providing food and support.\n\nThe Americans were stunned as they did not expect to meet this kind of resistance.  British and Canadians occupied Detroit for the duration of the war, plus occupied some islands and settlements in New York and Vermont.\n\nThe Americans burned York (now Toronto) to the ground, British and Canadians set fire to Washington.\n\nCanadians and Americans were bitter enemies for almost 70 years after the war.\n\nTo answer your last question, Canada was never occupied by any foreign power.  We simply gave back what we took.\n\nWe've managed up until WWI to say out of Americna power abuse because we were members of the British Commonwealth.  After WWII we work together with the Americans in joint defence.  They recognize that we are an independant sovereign country and respect this.

We( Canada) lost 2 more of our "GAY" solders today in Afghanistan , You A**hole. We have lost more in Afghanistan than the UK, and %wise the US. We weren't behind the illigal war in Iraq. As far as I'm concerned we should not be in Afghanistan, the US created the problem by backing the Taliban, and now they are backing the Northern Alliance, another group of warlords.   \n\nSome food for thought, if you are capable of it, \n\nToday marks the day that you will have been in Iraq longer than the US was in all of World War II. Canada had been there since Sept/39\n\nThat's right. We, with the help of the allies, especially Russia, were able to defeat all of Nazi Germany, Mussolini, and the entire Japanese empire in LESS time than it's taken the world's only superpower to secure the road from the airport to downtown Baghdad. \n\nAnd we haven't even done THAT. After 1,347 days, in the same time it took us to took us to sweep across North Africa, storm the beaches of Italy, conquer the South Pacific, and liberate all of Western Europe, we cannot, after over 3 and 1/2 years, even take over a single highway and protect ourselves from a homemade device of two tin cans placed in a pothole. No wonder the cab fare from the airport into Baghdad is now running around $35,000 for the 25-minute ride. And that doesn't even include a friggin' helmet. \n\nIs this utter failure the fault of our troops? Hardly. That's because no amount of troops or choppers or democracy shot out of the barrel of a gun is ever going to "win" the war in Iraq. It is a lost war, lost because it never had a right to be won, lost because it was started by men who have never been to war, men who hide behind others sent to fight and die. \n\nLet's listen to what the Iraqi people are saying, according to a recent poll conducted by the University of Maryland: \n\n** 71% of all Iraqis now want the U.S. out of Iraq. \n\n** 61% of all Iraqis SUPPORT insurgent attacks on U.S. troops. \n\nYes, the vast majority of Iraqi citizens believe that our soldiers should be killed and maimed! So what the hell are we still doing there? Talk about not getting the hint. \n\nObviously the Allies must have done a hell of a lot more than you give us Credit for.

The French have always been over-rated. Did you how see how easy the German army rolled into France in ww2?

Yes. People should remember that during this day, the Allied troops of US, Britain and Canada fought the Germans in the Normandy Beach. The victory against Hitler and the fascists is near.

My father (who passed away about 13 years ago) would have remembered Aldershot well. He often mentioned it in his frequent "war stories." He was born in Worchester Park, Surrey (now Greater London) emmigrated to Canada at 16 and in 1939 he was a 2nd. Lt. in the British Columbia "Westminster (militia) Regiment." (now the Royal Westminster Regt.)This Regt. was activated as soon as war was declared and my father was almost immediately sent to England. \n\nHe fought mostly in Italy and Holland and spent a lot of time in England. He returned from the war a Lt. Col., he and his war buddies in Canada reminisced often about England and especially Aldershot. His name was George D. Johnson and he would have held the rank of Captain then Major most likely, during the time he would have been stationed there.\n\nI wish I could tell you more, its nice that you remember the "Canadian lads," I'm sure they or their families, (like me) appreciate it......
