The European Parliament has formally consented to Canada's participation in the EU's €150-billion Security Action for Europe programme. The agreement is now fully binding, making Canada the only non-European country with preferential access to SAFE procurement.
I know this is official, but the headline reads as if Canada never helped in the World Wars.
Technically we didn’t really as we where not a country. We had to join cause the UK joined.
Not WW2 officially. But we would always join to protect them.
Holy shit, is Canadian history education this bad? Go to school.
It was when I went to school, can’t believe it has gotten better since then
Depends if you spent the class eating crayons or not.
Getting downvoted because history lol.
Wait, are you saying Auli is getting downvoted even though they’re right? Because what they are saying is NOT true for WWII.
They are just saying the UK pulled us into war when it was within their jurisidiction to do so. They arent passing any judgement on the valor or sacrifice of our forces.
Sorry if I’m still understanding.
We had the right to choose to join or not in WWII. The OP is saying we didn’t, right? That isn’t true.
Also because so many young Canadian men died in that war, so it’s hard to say “we didn’t” and it actually be true.
Tell that to all the young Canadian men who never got to grow old. Many of our highschools have huge war memorials b/c entire generation of teenagers who used to attend highschools - died in WW2.
Canada got control of its foreign policy in 1931. This statement is untrue for WW2.
