Juno Beach was significant because Canadians, against all odds, pushed farther inland and met their objective before any other troops on D-Day. Juno Beach was a very important area to control, including the cross-roads and the village of Caen. Juno Beach also restored the Canadian's morale after the massacure of Dieppe.
Canada took past experiences from Dieppe and Sicily to make this invasion a success.
Canada sustained the 2nd highest casualties on D-Day, at 1,200. The US invasion of Omaha had somewhere in the area of 2,00-2,200. So, yes, we pushed farther inland then any other unit, but we also payed for the land.
