I had known about Canada's involvement in WWII before the US...but BOTH these countries (and others) turned their backs on Spain in 1937 and could have stopped Hitler way sooner. And neither tried to stop the Franco regime.

We've always been proud of our Canadian roots in my family and have never thought poorly or less of Canadian people, culture, etc. I don't know everything there is to know about my own country, yet alone another. It's always nice to learn something new.

I just found out last more last week @Pratt & Whitney in Canada when I came across a book on the subject.
