As much as I know there were no Concetraition Camps in canada, that is a stupid quetion if I have ever heard one.

Answer

Forty Prisoner of War Camps were set up for 33,798 German and Italian POW's and 6,437 Civil Internees (mostly Merchant Marine).

When was Canada discovered?

The land which would one day become the nation of Canada, has been possessed by native peoples before recorded history. The first outsider since then seems to be the Viking Lief Eriksson who landed upon the shores of what is now known as Baffin Island, Labrador, and Newfoundland, around the year 1000 AD. The land that was to be Canada, however, was lost again until 1534, when Jacques Cartier of France discovered the St. Lawrence River and named the land around him "Canada", using an Indian word he picked up from the natives.

How many Canadians died in WW2?

Answer

A large number of Canadians served in different RAF squadrons at the beginning of the war. No. 1 Fighter Squadron, RCAF was the first air unit to take on the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain. Pilots from various RAF squadrons were consolidated as No.242 (Canadian) Squadron, RAF and on 30 August 1940 they had 12 kills with no losses in their first air battle.

The actual number is still debated to this day as some confusion exists over the citizenship of some pilots. The number ranges from 96 to 103, these being primarily identified as RCAF or Canadians serving in the RAF.

P/O J.L McKnight of 242 Sqn. is the most successful Canadian BoB pilot with 15 aircraft destroyed, 2 shared destroyed and 3 damaged. Sadly he went missing and presumed KIA in January 1941.

Britain has had a very long military history, many Asian countries have began and learned new effective tactics that can combat the North American and European version of warfare.

Canada is the largest peacekeeping country in the world and is involved in some of the most difficult operations in Afghanistan. They may not have a lot of advanced weaponry, but their tactics and training is superior to the others. Canada has been proven to have the best trained pilots in the world, and some of the most sophisticated military tactics. As well if you would like to look back in history, The battle for Vimys Ridge was a Canadian operation, and one that no other country could accomplish. It was true that during World War I Canada was still somewhat under Britain s rule but these were Canadian troops not British. World War II Bastone and D Day two operations where the world has said the Americans took the brunt of the fight when this is not true. It is the bias and misconceptions that have made some countries who are either older than other countries or have more man power to seem better
