Since you mention WW2 and Canada here are some things they never talk about or will admit.

The metafor of 'scorched' doesn't apply to the US in WW2.
Even during the war they boomed from the war economy, jobs were abundant and companies profits doubled at the time.
And like today the US profitted from a war far from their unharmed country.
They also joined it purely out of self-interest.
It really angers me when people say they liberated us or wanted to defeat the nazis.
Fact is the Soviets defeated the nazis, 85% of Germans died fighting on the eastern front.
The Americans joined royally late in the European theatre after the battle for Stalingrad which was a decisive battle that ensured the Germans would eventually lose.
They were happy seeing European economic competition destroyed by war and the main reason they came in was to make sure they got a part of the loot.
Otherwise the Soviets would be at the Atlantic shores in no time and get it all.
And this all by themselves without the help of any 'allies'.
That's when we became vasals, we were not 'liberated'.
While the United States had little interest in collecting reparations from Germany, it was determined to secure repayment of the more than $10 billion it had loaned to the allies over the course of the war. Also they profitted from the Marshal plan after that.
Then Bretton-Woods which made us dependent on the dollar and we all became part of the NATO extortion racket.
They saw us as if we were another country they conquered. Treating the population like shit with many cases of rape, even more in enemy countries, Italy or Germany.
Much worse was their total disregard for human life and the collateral dammage.
To them hat was a cynical benefit, again destroying our infrastructure and people.
Countless excessive bombings with mass casualties.
A few weeks ago there was the annual remembrance of one of those bombings in Belgium,15km from where I live.
Americans were suppposed to bomb a factory and again made a 'mistake'.
As a result of their callous attitude 1000+ homes were destroyed, 937 people killed, 200+ of them children.

And 'getting rid of the nazis' is also not the case.
On the contrary, they actually saved plenty of them when they were sure the war was won.
It was already known the Soviets/communists would be their next chosen enemy and fascists were a good partner in this.
US and Brits ratted out the communist resistance to the nazis after they served their purpose and got executed.
Not so for nazis after the war.
The Soviets pursued denazification zealously. In the west only a handful got the death penalty at the Nuremberg show.
The bulk of them got rehabilitated and kept important political and economic positions.
All was forgiven.
Even during the end of the war it became clear.
German forces did relative little against the allies but kept fighting a lost war on the eastern front to hold off the Russians long enough for the Americans to take their part, also if the Germans would've kept Western Europe there would be no one to surrender to that would
Countless nazis and warcriminals got saved trough the so-called Ratlines orchestrated by the fascist Croatian Catholic priest Krunoslav Draganović in cooperation with the United States Counterintelligence Corps (CIC)
Not only the well known 'useful scientists' from Operation Paperclip but the worst of the worst, like Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele, Croatian Dictator Ante Pavelić, Léon Degrelle and Claus Barbie.
The last one later recruted by the CIC to help extreme-right regime changes in South America.
An entire SS division composed largely of Ukrainians who arrived in 1947, with many later emigrating to Canada.
These were awful people, guilty of murdering 35000 jews in one day and plenty warcrimes.
And their fuhrer Bandera got to live in West Berlin under a different identity without any consequences. Until the Russians found him and rightfully put a bullet in his head.
The immigration of fascist Ukranians in your country was also deliberate.
Many of the earlier immigrants (ironically many Ukranians) were very left-wing and started demanding horrible commie things such as workers rights and unions.
The government couldn't have that and this was their cure.
The consequences are still visible today.

All this to say the US was never our friend regardless of who's in charge.
Also clear in recent years in the Nuland-Pyatt call where she said "fuck Europe".
Or the Biden "there will be no more Nordstream" and the following terrorist act that made us depending on their 8x more expensive and polluting fracking gas which is killing our economy.
I really hope Europe breaks with the US but they take all these things without a peep. Our leaders are sold-out and continue their post WW2 vasal role.
They want to cling to the sinking ship while they should be looking east, the time of US hegemony is over.
The orange clown is doing the world a big favor in hastening that and his actions may indeed get some countries to seek better partners. We don't owe them anything.
