A war for Canada's independence? Good Heavens! Of course not. We are a peaceful and proper nation. We earned our independence. There is an analogy to the process of Canada's earning its independence. The first step was like going to elementary school. The colonies were governed largely by Britain and there was very little local government. The next step was like graduating into high school. Over a period of time, the colonies achieved a measure of self-government. Later, the concept of 'responsible government' was achieved, whereby the government was responsible to the people living in the colonies, with very little control from Britain. The final step was like entering university. Canada became fully independent and, over time, absorbed the remaining British North American colonies and territories. With Britain's concurrence, of course. Today, Canada is a modern democracy, and one of the world's major industrial nations.
What for? Just so young men could die in the prime of their lives? Get serious! Canada achieved independence through peaceful, lawful, and democratic means. We became a country through legislative evolution, not armed and violent revolution.
