This has nothing to do with WWII but!

The first Canadian to start selling ice cream was Thomas Webb of Toronto, a confectioner, around 1850. William Neilson produced his first commercial batch of ice cream on Gladstone Ave. in Toronto in 1893, and his company produced ice cream at that location for close to 100 years.

Just thought you might want to know about the first seller of Ice cream in Canada.

Woah!

Errmmm, this topic is about war and stuff. Ice cream in no way has anything to do with anything in this topic, although it is very tasty.

Just a message to Angrist and anyone else who happens to be from Holland.

Who freed your country's ass in World War II?

Damn straight. And don't you forget it either.

Slaughtering approximately 150,000 innocent civilians isn't exactly a prideful act.

I can already see your counter argument coming.

What happened in the past happened...lets talk more current events...how about that plane thing that was shot down yesterday killing 15 more Americans? [sarcasm] But yea, we really need to be in Iraq...because of all those weapons of mass destruction right? They're a threat to the entire world I tell ya! [/sarcasm] But will Busch ever admit that we need to get out of Iraq, or actually do it? Hell no, hes way to cool for that.

You're an idiot. I can't understand half of what your saying and and the other half I can read is retarded. The nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not for revenge from Pearl Harbor.

You can say whether it was needed or not. Saying that we needed to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians just to save a few soldiers is just unethical. That was not the intention of the US Army at all. It was to end the war.

lol...technically it was over anyways, and the US deaths would have been insignificant to the deaths of the Japanese army....although i don't believe nuking them was the right idea....and also TWO nukes...i think more than anything US just wanted to flex their muscle at the world....just IMO...anyways back on topic... err, is anyone participating in a parade or celebration of any sort?

Canada wasn't fully responsible for the liberation of Holland, Canadian command just happened to be around when the Germans surrendered, so they surrendered to Canada. The US was responsible for mmore Nazi deaths.

DarkMaster · 11-03-2003, 12:45 PM

The Liberation of Holland had started with the Americans on September 13, 1944. British troops played a large role along with the Americans. Failure of the airborne assault on Arnhem prevented the liberation of the rest of Holland (September 17, 1944). Canadians took over the liberation and they cleared the Dutch approaches in November. Hostilities ceased on May 5 and the Canadians liberated Holland including Amsterdam and Rotterdam and also the Hague.The Dutch suffered through a harsh winter. Fuel and food and other relief supplies were quickly brought into the area. This was important to winning the war because it ruined the Germans final defense efforts.
Canada had provided a place of refuge for the Queen of Holland during the war in Ottawa . This combined with our efforts to liberate and support the Dutch in Europe led to a good and lasting relationship between the Canada and Holland. This is the reason we have the Tulip festival in Ottawa every year. The tulips are a gift from Holland to Canada to thank us.

exactly....

and as for the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.... there is no reason why they hit COMPLETE civilian targets.... people who did not want to be in the war, and people who had no desire to fight and die for the war. The only difference that the US showed by hitting those targets is that they had no interest in civilian deaths. Military targets would have made just a strong a message, especially since the japanese would have realized the futility of gathering troops in one place for an attack as they could easily be dispatched..... anyways....ya, thats my opinion
