During WW 1, the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) arrived in Europe with the totally Canadian, .303 in Ross Rifle. Although a fine shooting rifle it was proved not suitable for the mud of Flanders and replaced with British made .303 Lee-Enfields, Webley-Scott .45 revolvers and the water cooled .303 Vickers and gas operated .303 Lewis machine guns.
Canadian troops during WW II were likewise equipped with the .303 Lee-Enfields, &Enfield No 2 .38 revolvers, Sterling 9mm submachine guns and the 30 cal Browning M1919 and famous .303 Bren machine guns. Although made in Canada, all were of foreign origins.
Throughout the Cold War Johnny Canuck was equipped with the very fine 7.62 mm Fabrique Nationale, (FNFAL) C1 & C2. The Browning Hi-Power 9mm pistol and 7.62 mm Nato Browning General Purpose Machine Gun.
In 2005 Canada rearmed it's troops with the 5.56 mm C7 & C8, Canadianized versions of the US Colt M16A1, the C9 light machine gun and the Fabrique Nationale C6 7.62mm General Purpose Machine Gun.

What Impact did Juno Beach have on the Canadian forces?
The canadians landed with over 14,000 soldiers and faught well. They went farther than all the other allies on D-day. Later they met up with the british. It increased Canadian morale. Canada remains peaceful today and keep their war stuff about how large and how well trained the armies are a secret I hop THIS answer answered your question better than the uncalled for and rude one before. No Canada did not think wars was easy.
AnswerAlmost two years before Normandy, Canada had attacked the French port city of Dieppe, and it was the first Canadian action of the war. It was also a miserable failure for the Allies, and a propaganda success for the Axis. Apparently many brave Canadian soldiers had been sacrificed for nothing, but the knowledge gained from it saved many lives on Juno Beach as well as on Gold and Sword. [Casualties were light on Utah because the US troops were accidentally landed in the wrong place, and casualties on Omaha were appalling.] Juno was the most important of the five beaches because its objective was the Caen Crossroads. I should think that after Juno the Canadians felt that the disaster at Dieppe had been compensated, and they could stand equally with the US and Great Britain.How many Lieutenant Generals are there in the Canadian army?
In the Canadian Forces, there are about 12 people at this grade, but this would include the Navy, Army, and Air Force.
If the CF's composition is about 40% army, then usually it means 4 to 6 people out of the 12 will be Army Lieutenant-Generals. The "Chief of the Land Staff" (i.e. senior army officer) also holds this rank. The rest of the Lieutenant-Generals usually hold various senior staff positions for the CF in general.

as i remember it was around between 5000 and 20000 soldiers
How do you get a record of Canadian Air Force Personnel?
If you are that person, you apply to Veteran's Affairs. They willl supply you with the record.
