This is the same response Americans got for highlighting Canada's obsession with America... arrogance, absurd.
I am sorry but Canada in the grand scheme of things weren't essential to World War 2, Britain was, it pains people to accept that as the rest of Europe surrendered and was occupied in 6 weeks, England, a tiny country by comparrsion stood up and said no.
The Battle Of Britain was a fantastic achievement, heavily outnumbered, out gunned, and of course far feweer experienced trained pilots that were totally exhausted from constant raids night and day before the London blitz, was a remarkable achievemnt, and I'm afraid 2 squadrons of largely British born Canadians were not soley responsible for this remarkable feat. Now to put things into perspective, the 2 squadrons of canadians were incredibily brave men, no doubt about it, look at the opposition and the prediciment they were in, Germany expected to crush Britain in a week, so those Canadians were hereos, but every person in Britain was a hero then, something which wouldn't happen in todays society, but to suggest those hero's owed their courage and existence to a few foreign nationals is completely absurd. If Canadians take credit for 1814 and ww2, I hate to I would hate to see them had they actually done these 2 feats!
