As a constitutional monarchy, Canada was called to war by the crown. Britain badly abused the colonies during WW2, putting them at the front of attacks and famously sending them out on ranger missions, changing up plans to attack during the day for naval and air support, then pulling that support in the hours before the attack.
The anecdote is to demonstrate just how whipped the Canadians were as subjects. The rest of the Commonwealth has similar stories.
Canada (the Allies) declared war on Christian Germany and protected, gave safe haven to the NAZIs.
Right, but Germany had NOT declared war on Canada, nor had Canada been threatened.
So ... WTF was Canada doing?
