I knew that Britain was in WW2, but I didn't discover that Canada was a part of the British empire until well after I graduated highschool.

Anyway, there were plenty of British people in WWII movies, but I don't think I've ever seen one that's got Canadians in it.

Jesus Christ. I'd say the average Canadian student could name half the US state capitals before they hit high school when I went to school.
