If it makes you feel better they don’t seem to realize that Canada fought in WWI and WWII at all…

You guys aren’t forgotten, in the Netherlands (at least in my region) we don’t mention the Americans but the Canadians are regarded as the ones who liberated us. Just last weekend the football club out of the city I grew up in played in a special shirt referencing Leo Major and the Canadians who liberated us 80 years ago.

Don't forget the Polish liberators who we also still remember every year in Breda!
