"You Canadians are so nice! Why is that?" Canadian: "I don't know" (blinks and thinks homicidal thoughts)
-
Canada 2023: I'm sorry. Canada 1914-18: You're sorry.

One I heard during WWI where the trenches were close together, every day at the same time this Canadian chap would toss a tin of food over into the German trench. He repeated this for about a week getting them used to fighting over the surprise extra rations. Then he tossed a grenade

Dont ask a woman about her age, a man about his salary and Canada about her warcrimes.
-
Takes a long time for Canadians decide violence is the answer. Once we do, we’re terribly decisive.

I once saw a documentary where a WWII German Paratrooper was being interviewed about D-Day and the Battle for France. He said we could always tell who we were attacking. With the Americans they would fall back and let the artillary deal with us. The British would call in their tanks to blunt or advance. The Canadians... the damn Canadians would see us attacking and jump out of their positions and run towards us shooting from their hip into our battle line. Scared the hell out of us!
-
Now THIS is something I have never learned in history class…
-
Its just some facts that are unavoidable: The snow speaks Finnish, trees speak Vietnamese, the skies sing fortunate son, & Canadians are terrifying when they stop saying sorry
-
British Prime Minister Lloyd George said of the Canadians that “whenever the Germans found the Canadian Corps coming into the line they prepared for the worst.” During the Italy campaign, the allies would use Canadian made goods to misdirect the Germans as to the Canadian position. The allies knew, wherever the Germans thought the Canadians would be, the line would be heavily reinforced against the storm coming their way.

True ... but we always said "sorry" after!!
-
One of the reasons canadians were like this, was the story of a canadian soldier crucified by Germans (later proved to be a propaganda). This caused Canadians to act viciously towards Germans. But it also caused Canadians to truly fear german captivity, as Germans became fond of a game "Kick the Canadian in the face".
-
Just as my grandfather once told me, "Someone so polite is just as vicious when ticked"
-
I love being Canadian. I just wish we had an actual man as prime minister
-
No Canadian army has ever surrendered in the field. Gérmans called certain units Stormtroopers.
-
We were the definition of "Don't mistake our kindness for weakness." Not so much these days and it's kind of sad.
-
Certainly should be noted, D-day June 6, 1944 the Canadians Army made the deepest penetration into Normandy from Juno Beach of all the allied armies.
-
People forget that about us. They forget WHY we're so friendly, we desperately don't want to have to do this again.
-
We aren’t nice people we are just polite people. Don’t drag us halfway across Europe to fight some horse shit and we won’t shoot POW’s it’s a fair ask
-
British Commander: What do you Canadians do with all your POWs? Canadian Solder: POWs?
-
World War 3 starts Canadians-"I'm about to stop saying sorry"
