Although Canada didn't have the independence from Great Britain as it Demonstrates now, Jean Chretien saying " NO " to the war in Iraq for example it did have independent say, as far as politicians were concerned, Canada's prime minister at the time was Robert Borden and he supported the effort, not necessarily the want of the people but that rarely matters in time of war.

However many of the Immigrants of the time were British so it was supported but not by force as per the example of the dates of the declarations of war on Germany because they declared war on Russia, Britain declares war on August 4 1914 and our Governor General declared Canada at war with Germany on August 5 1914.
