How did vimy ridge affect Canada?

Vimy Ridge was a defining moment in Canadian history because they managed to prove their worth by taking the ridge of high strategical value which allied forces had failed to do time and time again. The allied forced suffered a loss of 100,000 people over that ridge without ever capturing it. They proved their worth as a country and Ally, and not as a colony under British control. Vimy ridge was also the first time ever the members of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces (CEF) were allowed to fight together. All four units of the Canadian corps fought together under a Canadian general (Arthur Currie). Though they did the impossible by capturing the ridge through careful strategic planning and impeccable timing there were great losses. There were 10, 602 casualties and 3, 600 of them would go on to die. Because of Vimy Ridge and Canadian participation Prime Minister Robert Borden was allowed to sign the treaty of Versailles on behalf of Canada not Britain signing for Canada This was truly when Canada was seen as a country.
