Rememberance Day in Canada

Remember that time we saved Europe? Yea, that was pretty cool..

I saw someone selling poppies this morning for Remembrance Day and was just thinking, what did WWI and WWII have to do with Canada.

Yes, at the time we were a British colony, and we did send our superior soldiers over to Europe to fight, however you still hear people say about both bars that the soldiers died for our freedom.

In WWI they died for Britain’s freedom and in WWII they died for Europe’s freedom.  Some people have said to me “If we didn’t fight, Hitler would have taken over Canada too!”.  But realistically, Hitler still had a lot of Europe to finish take over before he had time to worry about Canada.  He still had Central Asia, South Asia, The Middle East, and Russia to take over before he got to North America, and some of those countries weren’t pussies like the French, they wouldn’t have surrendered so fast.  The Russians, Chinese, and Arabs would have kicked some ass, where as France and England would have just surrendered a week later if the Americans didn’t step in kick Hitler when he was down.

Anyways.  We are grateful that our soldiers helped defeat the Nazis even though German France would have been much cooler. Let’s also remember that without Britain, we would have had no-one to sell Germany Rolls Royce, Bentley, and Mini…

Actually, I think all the veterans are dead now, so if you don’t wear a poppy, I guess you don’t have to feel like such a dick because your grandparents were Nazis..
