Does it seem strange...

Before we make any gratuitous swipes at Canada we should remember that by the time Pearl Harbor came around they had already been in the war for two years.

What about Newfoundland? They weren't part of Canada then. Can we still take swipes at them?

Sorry, no Newfie swipes. As a British colony they were already in the war too. Greenland might be okay, though. Not sure where they stood.

Over the course of the war, they had 1.1 million people serving in the various branches of the armed forces (out of a population of only 11 to 12 million). About 45,000 died, and 54,000 were wounded.
