The Canadians are who they'd send in when other armies couldn't do it. Blizzard? The Canadians will charge the trenchs through 3 feet of snow and the blizzard would hide their advance. Swampy conditions? Half of Canada is a swamp and the Canadians would charge through the mud effortlessly in comparison. They fought when they wanted, how they wanted, and with no sympathy for the enemy.

Every war I've heard of since, people say "I wasn't afraid of the British, I wasn't afraid of the French, I wasn't afraid of the US, but those godamn Canadian's are ruthless."

I have a theory that it's all of the sorey's stacked up in a pent up rage
