We took more dead and wounded after the D-Day landings, in the summer of 1944 than either the Brits or the Americans did, and we kept on fighting with out a break for 11 months after the Normandy landings. In some cases, Canadian infantry units were completely wiped out, That means that ALL of the 800 men in a unit had been either KILLED or so badly wounded ,that the unit ceased to exist as a fighting force. In the air, we flew fighters and coastal patrol aircraft and heavy bombers at night on bombing raids into the Occupied Countries. We became the acknowledged "best U-boat Hunters" and sank the most of them of any Alled navy in WW2.

Tabuu has also taken over many worlds and the minds of many bosses from many videogames. Examples are Galleon(a giant monster tank in the desert), Rayquazza(a huge, snake like legendary Pokemon ), and Porky ( a statue of an angry boy who transforms into a spidery robot demon). Also Tabuu has 3 helpers: Wario (Mario's rival), Bowser (a big turtle dinosaur with a spiky shell and fiery breath) and Ganondorf (a human who has the motive to qonquer the world and the power to do it.) Tabuu gave the 3 villians Darkcannons. Darkcannons are big black and yellow guns that shoot black arrows. When one is hit by a Darkcannon arrow, he or she is turned into a trophy.
