The Canadians probably did have a stronger military system, as they weren't as isolationist as the States. However, when the United States was called to action, they got their gear built up pretty fast.
Canada participated in WW1. They fought. They fought hard. They had some major victories. That's not "sitting down".

What the hell does that have the do with the quote, and why did you put sitting down in quotation marks? Are you trying to take those words out of context? Are you trying to make it look like I said the Canadians did nothing to help in the world wars? That is, despite the fact that even what you quoted proves otherwise.

The Candians did not design trench warfare. However, it is possible that they influenced the more effective and "modern" uses of trench warfare. And I assure you that recording specifics requires sitting down unless you know that the Canadian decided to record the "etiquette" while standing up!

Do not take my words out of context.


Back to the damn topic:
Canada is a snowy place without guns... I'll pretend that's all I think about it right now.
